We recently heard about GRAVITAS, a fun and introspective game "that gets us thinking and talking again." Learn more about it by watching this short video starring GRAVITAS creator Alan Gratias:
Intrigued? Increase your own "GQ" by getting yourself this little box of big questions. Consisting of 143 cards (three questions per card) totalling 429 questions, GRAVITAS is a game of self-reflection that also has us sharing our life views with others. With playful queries like "What's wrong with a metrosexual?" to ponderous ones such as "What engages you?", there certainly are no right or wrong answers; making it a game anyone can--and should--play.

This looks like an intriguing game for a calmer less frenzied Game Nite. I'm down if anyone has it. I think my husband would love the "no right or wrong answers" aspect.
ReplyDeleteLooks interesting...I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun! I'm used to the trivial pursuit style where every second answer is "Richard Nixon". :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a game that essentially enables people to create and (hopefully) sustain meaningful discussion with others. It is not surprising that a game like this has been invented. Our culture does not value or promote true self reflection. Therefore, I feel that this game can truly be helpful for those who wish to delve into their inner psyches and maybe a learn a thing or two about themselves as well as their friends. I'm curious to see what the questions are : )
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that a game has been invented for introspection. In this fast-paced, materialistic and hedonistic society, do we have to resort to a game to stop and think about the bigger questions that life poses?
ReplyDeleteIt looks interesting - but given the questions it poses, it sounds like you would have to be really comfortable sharing honest answers with other people...
ReplyDeletePros: You can learn a lot about other people and yourself
Cons: It might provoke awkward situations (e.g. "What's wrong with a Metrosexual?" could lead to judgmental statements)
I find it somewhat strange spending $40 on something that people did for free in Ancient Greece. Have we become such a materialistic/consumerist society that we now have to pay for our ideas and/or their catalysts? (See? That point of discussion is free.)
