If you’re playing with a partner or hookup, the game could have some pretty interesting benefits, too-and lead to some important convos. It's to learn more about your fellow players. After all, the goal of Never Have I Ever isn't necessarily to win.
The game gets better the more you trust your crew, so "give yourself permission to take some risks and share more intimate details of yourself," she adds. The key to overcoming any awkwardness: "Be willing to be vulnerable," says Janet Brito, PhD, a clinical psychologist based in Honolulu, Hawaii. (And, usually, have a laugh while doing it.) That said, it's totally normal if these tell-alls make you a tad ~nervous~, too. In the vein of "Would You Rather" and "Two Truths and a Lie," Never Have I Ever is the perfect opportunity to get to know people a little bit better. Whether you're having a wine night with friends, chilling with your family, or hanging out one-on-one with your S.O., the game is ideal for almost every occasion, mostly because you can tweak the rules (and change the questions) depending on where you are and who you're playing with. "Never Have I Ever" is kind of the perfect impromptu party game.
