I grew up taking inter-family familiarity for granted. I had no choice: I was an only child and told my parents almost everything. While by all accounts a "handful" (hyper-active, overly out-spoken, prone to biting/mooning, etc.) I did manage to get good grades and cultivate some very solid friendships.They, in turn, were forthright with me although they somehow knew when/where to draw the line. As a result, we knew each other extraordinarily well and while we didn't always agree, we almost always got on.This is exceptional for two reasons. One is that it's rare to have such a tight relationship with your family and two, despite our closeness, there was still a ton of stuff I didn't know about them. I didn't know my mom's favorite color and I didn't know who was my dad's hero (or even if he had one)...FAMILY MATTERS is a get-to-know-your-family-better board game that playfully engages families to learn the minor details about one another. And while it goes far further (more on that later) the little things mean a lot. I've been shocked by parents who told me "Gee. I had no idea how many things my children don't know about me...".Dale Carnegie dedicated his book, "How To Make Friends and Influence People" to those who didn't need it; we at Better Inded shall dedicate our game to all those who do.
