Why play this game: We've all said something that just screams I have an EQ of 0. Emotional Intelligence is a skill that can be learned. I imagine this game being played by couples, business people, and even language students. The addictive factor will be new, fresh content that gives people plenty to talk about and look forward to. The brevity and mobility of the game is ideal for quick play on the commute, during coffee breaks or at lunch time. Players control the pacing of the game. It was imagined yesterday by Markus and I after brainstorming how to teach EQ using Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh as um...er... inspiration.
