I bought the game because I wanted something that would get my kids to see the beauty in things that they would normally overlook, like the spiral in the arm of a bench or the veins in a leaf. I like that it can be played a few different ways and doesn’t have to be played in a competitive manner. It can just be beautiful and relaxing. I plan on using the cards in my art classes for a project. Thank you for creating such a lovely game.

My family, ages 5-78, enjoyed collaborating on an Ouisi collage after Thanksgiving dinner… once we convinced everyone that there didn’t need to be strict rules, the creativity came out to play!

Love OuiSi! My 5 year old and I play it on the living room floor, snaking our cards around the furniture and laughing at our leaps of imagination. I look at a card before I go for a run and then think about how that card is reflected in things I see in my 2 miles around the neighborhood. Someday I'll read the booklet to learn the many ways you've described for playing and learning with OuiSi. For now, we happy to have the beautiful cards to stimulate our thoughts. (Hope my photo came through)

We bought this game to play with our grands, ages 7&9. But it stays at our house. Lol. They loved it! We are looking forward to trying different versions. If they play lots this year, I'll get the other version. We started with nature.

With our four year old grandsons, we play it as a game of connection. Each of us must be able to make a valid justification when placing a card next to another. In this session, one of them placed a picture of finished wood next to a tree, explaining the dresser was made of wood like the tree. We all love the mental challenge of the game. The pictures are inviting, engaging and beautiful. I taught all my life and recognized this as an incredible learning tool. Well done!!

While playing OuiSi, my 14-year-old son told me "this is even more fun than playing video games!" We just play a "freeflow" version. I don't feel like, despite reading directions, I have a good understanding of other ways to play.

The photos are beautiful with interesting perspectives of everyday items that makes the game a gorgeous piece of art! Purchased for my 6 year old daughter, we love it! ❤️

Played Ouisi Nature on New Years Day with adults. Had a great time looking the cards up with the QR code. Then played it with grandchildren 9, 10, and 12 and had even more fun. (picture).

Fun to listen to our 4 year old explain why she connects cards together, she often has hilarious or unexpected answers. Love that you can play this lots of different ways and with few or many people. Has become one of our favorite travel games to bring to vacations and family visits. Very easy to make up your own games and variations which makes it feel like lots of games in one. Great game to engage players of many ages. Could see this being a great icebreaker for work functions as well.

A friend introduced us to OuiSi this past year and I fell in LOVE with it! I have given it as a gift to countless friends! It's beautifully made! Lovely quality of cardstock that feels so good to the touch. The photography on the cards is beautiful. The best part is the "playing guide" (not sure what they call it), that describes the COUNTLESS ways to play and be inspired with this deck. I thoroughly enjoy the collaborative nature of selecting a card that feels like it relates, in some way, to t...

We gave the game as a gift to our son and daughter-in-law for Christmas. They brought it over a few weeks later and we played. Everyone enjoyed it and I love the creativity. Think I will purchase one for myself!

We love OuiSi! The cards are beautifully done. With so many different ways to play- it’s a great way to include family members of all ages in just one game. I have both versions and have started giving it as gifts as well! Can’t wait to see future versions!!

I have been playing the game with my mom who is 92. She loves it. It makes us both think creatively about how things connect. I highly recommend ouisi. We have had a lot of fun with it.

My family decided to just play open the first time with no real structure - it allowed for so much creativity and discussion. So many times when someone would play a card - we would make happy noises. We are all creative folks and seeing how we all saw similarly and different was really cool. It was a great experience and I am sure we will continue to enjoy this set. As one of us said " this was the most pleasant and stress free game playing experience ever."

Purchased the original game to play with my mother who suffers with dementia. Worked with the basic concept of matching colors, shapes, etc. No wrong answers. No one looses but everyone wins. We prompted my mom to choose a tile and asked why she choose the card and about her placing the tile. Also did a story line. It was nice to see how she communicated more fully the longer we played. I believe the original set is more appropriate for working with individuals with dementia as the objects may ...

I bought this game to play with my grandchildren (8 and 6 years old). However, before we had a chance to do that, I used the game as an Icebreaker/Team building activity during our recent New International Student Orientation at the university where I work. It was wonderful! As you can see in the photo, the students were engaged and making connections with each other through the game. Perfect!

I have loved my game so far. So far, I have mostly been playing a free-form type of game with my toddler. I also plan on using it in my ESL classroom. The pictures are beautiful and I love the concept. I definitely want the nature deck as well.

I bought this game for my 3 year old and we love it. It's great for getting my kids to think outside of the box and expose them to new things while increasing their vocabulary.

My husband and I played with our 8 year old granddaughter and had a blast! We started with one card in the middle and took turns choosing a card from a stack(cards were turned upside down). This was our final result. We also entertained some friends and played a quick round using a set number of cards which was also fun! Definitely a fun and entertaining game!

I ordered this game for four young girls that are like my spiritual granddaughters. they loved the game so much. I have ordered another one for my children that live in New York. thank you so much for making a game that gets children out of their phones and tablets. Yaya🌺

OuiSi is a beautiful, fun and creative game to play. My 5 and 7 year olds love it and it’s so interesting to see how they interpret the different images and the similarities they find. I think it’s perfect for kids and adults alike.

We played this over the holidays with a dear friend and my father in law. All of us have very different ways of thinking and relating to the world and it was so much fun to see what everyone was putting down in relation to the other images. We had a blast. And it’s beautiful !! 10/10 would recommend!

I love this game! My sister-in-law taught it to me and my kids love getting creative with the cards. I love that it is stress-free and can be adjusted to the capabilities of the people playing. I’ve used it with my nieces (ages 4-6), my children (ages 7-10), and the high school girls in my youth group and they have all loved it!!

I love these cards, and all the beautiful potential that they bring into my art classroom for students to look closely. I have used them specifically for kids to find examples of Art Elements and Principles of Design. Besides that we’ve used them for the pleasure and joy of looking at gorgeous visual imagery and finding connections between different pictures.

We gave OuiSi to our 6-yr-old grandson for Christmas and played the game with him and two of his siblings while visiting their home. Not only was OuiSi fun to play, it expanded our own imaginations. Relationships the children found among the photos fascinated and delighted us!

The picture cards are intriguing and delightful for AlL ages. What other game can you add in another player mid-play? The kids had fun morfing the rules as we played.

This was a gift for a very, very special little girl in our lives! She wrote me a thank you (with a pencil, pen and marker on real paper!) and said that she got the glove card when she played the game with her Mom and brother! And we all know how special that glove card is!!!!

This game is simply incredible. I love the many ways to play it, I love the creativity and connection. The first time I played with my dad I was blown away learning about his creative storytelling and watching his brain work! The QR codes in the nature version are amazing. As someone who was once a photojournalist, I love seeing photographers like Camille Seaman represented in the cards. I can’t say enough good things about how thoughtfully this game was created. I’m in love.

this is a superb “game” to play with children, or adults! The intention, and care, shown by the creators of OuiSi is very apparent. I have played it at least a dozen times, with people of all ages, and it’s always delightful. In my experience as a mother, a grandmother, and an educator, I can say with assurance that OuiSi stands in a class by itself. Thanks you sincerely for giving us this intelligent, high quality activity that spurs creative thinking!! Well done!

I bought the game for my daughter and her family. We all LOVE to play games. This one is definitely different but we liked it! Can't wait to try out the various ways to play. We actually tweaked the rules on the game we played and made it our own.

This is a great family game and we spend hours as a family creating beautiful mosaic-like creations as we play. It is calming and energizing at the same time and great for this bilingual family with a young and an older teen! Sometimes we talk through why we are making connections and sometimes we just enjoy watching what ends up on the table.

I bought all three sets to enjoy with my four year old grandsons. They do a marvelous job of connecting images and justifying their placement. Outstanding learning activity, the sets are gorgeous and it is just plain FUN!

I love these games SO MUCH! This version just arrived and I had to open it immediately. I love the colors, the educational value (using the QR codes), the family time that the game elicits and the visual beauty on each card. I can just look through the cards for hours and never be bored. I highly recommend Ouisi Nature and Getty Museum for the additional QR I do that is provided. Original Ouisi is equally as visually stunning but lacks the connectivity of the Internet. Still fun, entertaining, a...

Love it ! The photographs are stunning. I haven't played with others yet. A group I belong to plan to play the game. I'm looking forward to that. I'm a poet and an artist. The cards inspire me. They relax me by concentrating on the images.

I sent OuiSi as an 8th birthday gift to my great-nephew. His dad says the whole family is enjoying it for its versatility- you can play many different games, or make up your own. I have a reputation in the family for finding interesting gifts. OuiSi did not disappoint! My reputation is safe.

I played this with my 9-year-old niece and nephew and they surprised me with their creative choices - so fun to hear their reason for placing a card. I ordered another for my sister who teaches second grade to mostly ESL students. Great game to play with a language difference!

This is such a great game! Everybody can play and everyone wins! I’ve sent this to several family members with several different ages of children. It appeals to those that are a stickler for rules and those that just would like to “wing it” and everyone can enjoy it evening they have no one to play with. I like the idea of taking a few cards on a walk and finding ways to compare the cards to whatever is in front of you

We have only played it once (5 and 7), and they loved making connections! I bought it to play with high school students to talk about how to use connections to make interpretations. It's a good schema builder. I am excited to read all the different games we can try.

We had such a great time playing -and also looking at the card info , reading about the subject matter and the photographer!

These cards are so eloquently made and so beautiful we use them for a leadership training activity and when we let people know they get to keep them as a reminder of the lessons learned, there is ALWAYS an audible indication of excitement! Images are so powerful and can be used in many ways!
