HOW TO PLAY

Deal out six "talking point" cards to each person.

Everyone will attempt to play these cards by fitting them into the conversation one

at a time.

Here are a few "talking point" examples that

STEP TWO:

 

Flip over one "conversation starter" to begin the game. Each person will try to work in one of their "talking point" cards at a time to keep the conversation going. 

 

Don't let it get awkward!

STEP THREE:

 

Once there is an awkward silence and nobody plays a "talking point" card or if someone plays a "talking point" card and everyone agrees that it's an awkward bust to the conversation, the round ends.

 

A new "conversation starter" is drawn.

 

Whoever plays all of their "talking point" cards first wins and they are crowned the Social Butterfly!
