All About Us

Place the cards in groups in the card holder. Do not shuffle the cards.
Throw the large dice, and the first person moves their counter to the corresponding shape on the 0's decade.
Choose the colour/decade card that relates to the shape/colour.
Read the question aloud and answer the question.
Once answered, place the card back in the holder and play moves to the next person.

Earlier questions will relate to that decade and can be answered by recalling a memory from that time.
As you move through the board, always choose cards that relate to the decade your counter is on.
As you reach a decade that is older than the players are, the questions can be answered as to what you think you might do or feel.

The aim of the game is to bring people together to answer a series of questions about their lives. A game for reminiscing about the past as well as answering what their thoughts and dreams would be if answering a question in a decade they may not have reached yet. It is great for conversation starters and an opportunity to find something out about each other that you did not know.

Currently, the game is only available in English.

A table is helpful but not essential. You can adapt the game to suit your space. Many people simply use the cards during tea time on a tray or even while sitting beside someone in a lounge or bedroom.

It’s suitable for both! Families find it a lovely way to connect more deeply. In care homes, it can help staff understand residents' histories and spark group conversations, as long as participants are in the early stages of dementia and able to engage meaningfully.

That’s perfectly fine. Many people just use the question cards for meaningful conversations. You don’t need to follow the board game structure to benefit from it.

A session can be as short as 10–15 minutes, perfect for a quick visit or quiet moment, or last up to an hour or more when everyone’s engaged and chatty. Many families use it for 30–45 minutes during weekend visits, while care staff often use the cards for shorter, focused conversations. It’s completely flexible. Start small and see what works best for your loved one’s attention span and energy levels.
