52 cards to complete the story in our minds

Here is a set of cards that offer us an entertaining and unique way to learn about what’s really going on in our minds.

Each card presents the beginnings of a story and invites us to imagine the rest. What might happen to the little boy and girl lost in the forest, or the couple on the day after their wedding? The prompts range from whimsical openings inspired by classic tales, to more grounded, psychologically challenging scenarios.

How we complete these stories reveals a remarkable amount about our values, fears, concerns and hopes. It is up to us whether we answer playfully or therapeutically, as long as it is honestly. Play the game in company for entertainment and confession; play it alone to mine the contents of your deep self.
