Dutch board game brings people together in conversation One year after releasing the Dutch boardgame ‘360 STORIES’ the English and German versions are launched – just in time for Christmas! 360 Stories is a game without winners or losers. A game for two or for a large group. You can play it for an hour or all night long… 360 Stories is an invitation to rekindle lost memories and swap tales together. Stories from a distant past, from the present or somewhere in between. Trivial stories or very emotional events. You can keep it light-minded or go very deep: you decide what story you tell. 360 Stories is played with friends, family, colleagues, a newfound love or your trustworthy partner, with your (grand)parents or children: everyone has a story to tell. www.360stories.co.uk - www.360stories.de – www.360stories.nl Author and publisher Wilma Mulder: ‘We were pleasantly surprised by the success of the Dutch version. In the first year after releasing the game, we sold almost the entire first edition. We’ve heard this is extraordinary for a new product. What I like most is the overwhelming response of our customers. We developed the boargame to get people to talk to each other, with the emphasis on a pleasant and sociable experience. However, 360 STORIES appears also to be very useful in a more therapeutic way. So the game not only found its way to many kitchen tables, but it’s also used in various healthcare institutes and schools. And it works wonderful as a teambuilding instrument for businesses. The feedback we got from our customers varies from “We had such a good time and laughed our socks off” to “With this game stuck emotions and blockades are gently loosened, it really opens people up.” It feels wonderful that we’ve created a product that brings fun, warmth and that connects people. All this positive response encouraged us to produce the game in different languages, starting with the English and German version. A French and Spanish, and maybe even Russian version will follow in 2016, as well as a special version for youngsters. We organize several 360 STORIES cafés and ‘We are One’events in Europe and hope to bring our boardgame and meetings eventually all over the world. So keep in touch via the websites, follow us on social media or sign up for the newsletter and maybe we’ll share stories on one of our events!’
