The virtue card game!

Tugi-Wugi is a dynamic and educational card game created by the Austrian designer Dagmar Schönfeldinger. It is designed to engage players of all ages, from children to adults, making it a versatile addition to both family game nights and educational environments. Each card in this visually appealing set features six distinct symbols, each representing different virtues such as kindness, bravery, and honesty. A unique aspect of Tugi-Wugi is that every card shares at least one symbol with every other card in the deck, challenging players to quickly identify the common symbol among them.

The rules include five distinct gameplay variations, each designed to enhance the learning experience and keep the game fresh and exciting.

Tugi-Wugi not only focuses on fast-paced fun but also serves as an educational tool that encourages discussions about virtues. By engaging with the symbols and their meanings, players expand their understanding of important character traits while improving their ability to recognize and articulate these concepts.

The game’s link to The Virtues Project provides additional depth, offering players a pathway to explore virtues more deeply outside of gameplay. Created with the goal of fostering positive dialogue and character building, Tugi-Wugi is more than just a game—it’s a tool for personal growth and social interaction.”
