This is a kind game. I've been looking for a game like this for a while now. Its a little too overwhelming for me now, but I hope to play this soon. Thank you for making and sharing this! p.s. I love how Powers work, and the layout is absolutely gorgeous. detaia

I recently had the pleasure of reviewing the Quick Start Rules for We & We, and I want to express my sincere admiration for this project. What you've created is more than just a game; it is a thoughtful, profound, and urgently needed framework for conscious living. Your approach to gamifying self-improvement and ethics, where the goal is to ascend by becoming happier and sharing that happiness, will undoubtedly help many people live more fulfilling lives and build better relationships.”

“This is a nice self-help and self reflection book with a good activity structure. I think the simple actions are helpful to the reader.

we&we is an interesting, innovative, cooly experimental project! I’m sure many will find the open, compassionate spirit behind it inspiring.

I think it's a great idea, and I can definitely see how it would reframe certain tasks in a positive way.

I have been sitting with We & We a bit more, and something keeps coming up for me. I can really see this being useful for families too. It gives people a way to talk about feelings and choices without it becoming too heavy or clinical. … It feels like a reflective tool, a simple daily practice, and something people could use together.

This looks like a really good plan for anybody who enjoys a gamified approach.
Fred Carruth
I was completely surprised by it but loved what I read. I like the gamification of life/tracking goals/ growth etc. It's definitely a great tool for personal reflection.

I really like the concept, and it’s absolutely much needed in the world as it is today. The quality of the prose is wonderful. The content is well thought out and very comprehensive. You’ve clearly spent a very long time creating it.

This should be required reading for any content creator.
