Big disappointment1
I purchased this for my husband and also thought I could use it too. It is not humorous and there is not one game that I thought was useful. I fell really ripped off.

Well structured and effective5
I already used it with young people. And it's easy to use, has nice games, and I like the debriefing questions.

What I was looking for.

Great fun!5
A very valuable resource. It teaches while keeping people in a very good mood.
