where should we begin game

The game "Where Should We Begin? A Game of Stories" by Esther Perel is where you begin by setting the atmosphere with music, dim lighting, and a clear space, then dealing 7 story cards to each player after removing any inappropriate ones for the setting. The first Storyteller rolls a dice and reads the prompt, then everyone submits a story card face down that they want the Storyteller to answer based on the prompt. The Storyteller shuffles and reads the cards aloud, picks one to answer, and shares a personal story related to that card. Afterwards, players discard used cards, draw new ones, and the Storyteller role passes to the left for the next round. Play continues until players feel they are finished sharing stories. The game is about storytelling, connection, and deep conversation with no winners or losers, and can be played casually with just story cards or with prompt cards and tokens for advanced play. It is designed for 2-6 players aged 18 and up and typically lasts about 45 minutes per session. The first story sets the tone, and stories should be personal and a few minutes long to allow everyone to share.
