“It is so refreshing with so much happening at the moment to have this game that we can play together as a family away from our connected devices… finding out so much about our strengths and building up our confidence with each other, especially now!…<\/p>\n

…. but this also so helpful from a sports specific perspective, I mean we are all in teams after all! Getting over the barriers between new signings at the start of season is helped so much by actually having fun together like this ! Mixing this in a sports setting with personal development and confidence building will allow the team to shine! the InTouch Rugby Personal Development & Neurolinguistic Programming Correspondent on assignment!<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE STORY <\/strong>BEHIND <\/strong>TOTEM<\/strong><\/p>\n

WHAT\u2019S <\/strong>TOTEM!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Totem is a card game that gives people the ability to have an open and honest conversation with one another around the game table. Giving us the
opportunity to reflect on each other\u2019s strengths, it effectively boosts self-esteem while breaking down our barriers in communication. Each player takes turns to construct a totem for other players out of an Animal Card (representing your best strength) and a Quality Card. Players bond over the
shared experience of witnessing the construction of their totem and hearing the story behind it.<\/p>\n

Totem was founded by Canadians Tessa, Carol, and jade in 2015. Their goal was to create a revolutionary game to harness the power in the connections we form through shared positive experiences, while building confidence and strengthening the bonds we share with other players.<\/p>\n

WHAT PLAYERS HAVE TO SAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d highly recommend this for family therapy sessions, coworker team building, and small well-established therapy groups.\u201d – Jooliagoolia<\/p>\n
