This creation is to enhance communication and mutual understanding about child-rearing between parents and grandparents.
In the game, players collaboratively raise a character named Sam, making decisions and instilling values using Penalty and Merit cards that represent their beliefs. Winning is secondary; rather, the game's purpose is to foster dialogue, enjoy shared moments, and appreciate each participant's positive intentions for the child's development.
