Tell Them Off™ turns the post-breakup storytelling into a competition of who can boast the most, or get the deepest about their ex-perience. Get ready for the ultimate break-up card game, for every emotion you're feeling about your "ex-perience" so you don't break down during your break-up! 

Every time you play a new memory is triggered, providing a new ex-perience....from the relationship things you forgot, to unfortunately, the things you can’t forget. It all adds up to a playful way to allow players to find humor in their past experiences and celebrate the absurdities of relationships. 

NOTE: This game is metaphorically about "telling them off," as we don't encourage confronting your ex with intense emotions. Instead, it's about expressing your thoughts, working through your fellings, and then channeling your energy towards living your best life, in a fun and safe way.

General Game Play:

No Judgment Zone: This game is all about self-expression and connection. Create a safe space where judgment takes a backseat, and empathy takes the wheel.

Share at Your Comfort: Participants are encouraged to share as much or as little as they feel comfortable with. There's no obligation to disclose personal details that you're not ready to discuss.

Positive Vibes Only: Foster an environment of positivity and support. Focus on the uplifting and transformative aspects of the storytelling, steering away from negativity or criticism.

Encourage Empowerment: The goal is to empower each other and learn from the past, turning challenges into opportunities for personal development.

Respect the Pause: Some prompts might hit close to home. Respect each player's comfort level. If someone needs a moment, honor the pause.

Confidentiality Matters: What's shared in the game stays in the game. Respect the privacy of others by keeping the stories and experiences shared during the game within the confines of your playgroup.
