**Written to keep the room friendly.**

Every president in this set gets the same treatment: which number he was, and one plain fact. No praise, no criticism, nobody's thumb on the scale. And the conversation questions ask about the *player's* life in that era rather than their opinion of the man — where they were on November 22nd, 1963; whether the family gathered around the radio; whether anyone they loved served. Residents remember their own lives together instead of arguing about politics, which is exactly what you want on a February afternoon.

**What makes it different: the call cards talk back.**

Every one of the 31 call cards has a short clue for the facilitator to read aloud, and underneath it, a question about the player's own life:

 *FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT — "The thirty-second president, the only one elected four times, and the voice on the radio through the Depression and the war."*

**Talk about it:** Did your family gather around the radio? What do you remember hearing?

That second line is the whole point. A quiet room turns into a room describing a kitchen in 1943.
