About the game
Praise is a game about discovering who is giving you genuine versus fake compliments. In Japanese culture, many people praise others as a cultural norm, but your true friends have to be discovered by their honest praises! This new version of the game has been translated and updated by Jordan Draper, with a bonus cool guy standee, giant custom die, and emotion cards that must be implemented when giving complements. —description from the publisher
