ABOUT THE DEATH DECK

You think you know your friends and family, right? But do you know their thoughts on the most universal yet rarely talked about topic of all?

With a playful tone and a sense of humor, THE DEATH DECK is both a game and tool that allows friends and family members to open up and share thoughts, stories and preferences about life and death in a non-threatening and surprisingly fun way.

Players of THE DEATH DECK partner up to guess answers to deep, funny, and sometimes weird questions on the topic of death.

With 112 cards and numerous ways to play, THE DEATH DECK encourages lively conversations and life-changing dialogue.

ABOUT THE CREATORS

The game was created by Lisa Pahl (a hospice/ER social worker) and Lori LoCicero (an author/widow) who met in hospice when Lori's husband Joe was facing end of life. The two bonded over Lisa's compassionate expertise and Lori's willingness to explore her grieving process fully. After Joe died, their healing sessions continued -- exceeding the typical timeframe of aftercare, extending to over 2 years -- and their conversations grew to include their frustrations on the “taboo” topic of death in our culture and how important it is to not only have these conversations but to have them early. Their sessions turned into ideas. Their ideas manifested into THE DEATH DECK.
