New America

Designed to provoke discussion among mature, thinking people!

Personal Portraits
In a non-competitive, relaxed friendly format, we paint verbal portraits of each other using the image cards provided. The cards are both serious and playfully humorous.

To add to the enjoyment, there are Quips to consult, Koans to answer and Fortunes to consider, as revealed by the Gypsy at the end of the game. Rules provide for Solitaire play, a Couples version, and a Group version for up to 30; thus, this is a game suitable for a few or for Socials, Parties...
