I love a review that makes me laugh ... has me nodding my head ALOT... and gives me stuff to seriously consider. Buying this game isn't what I'm considering. We've had the game for a bit already, so we've just a few less cards to pull than Lori does. And so far I agree ... the focus on TALK is having some tremendous benefits ... and not just in the bedrooom.The ripple-effects are far-reaching. But not all talk is cheap. Some of the conversation that's evolved hasn't been easy... but the results are invaluable, and have led to alot of fun and freshness ... in many areas. And the 'rubber rules' makes this a game where there's no cheating ... and always a happy ending for both of us. I like it!
