If you possess the card, and you are in a social situation where someone says one of those completely awkward statements that stops all conversation and has people looking at each other awkwardly, rescue the situation (or dig it in even deeper) by presenting the speaker with the AWK card. They, then, can only get rid of it the next time someone says something completely awkward. We had a similar game, but it consisted of only one card: the AWK card.

And… how about 'Sneaky Mail' - A card that asks each owner to pass it on until it reaches a nominated person in a particular town or community. e.g. "Sarah Jane : Oxford,UK Craft Fairs". The winner is the one who can finally present the card. Thank you Harry – this really got me thinking.

They let you upload your graphics and then print as many (or as few) copies as you want. The best part is that you can activate your product on their online store and it will be available to a worldwide audience. Since everything is print-on-demand, you don't have to order 500 copies of your game or anything. They print and ship it for you. Pretty slick service and seems like it could be a good option for you. Harry, you may want to consider self-publishing this game through The Game Crafter.

As much as I like electronic gaming (and have seen it yield great results in library settings) a game based around social play, conversation, imagination is just wonderful. And Harry has a better outlook on life and games than many people twice or three-times his age. Congratulations! That’s FABULOUS.
