Questions to get to know your family better

Baro : You think you know everything about your family. Then you ask one question and it’s a storm. A good one.

At Sunday lunch, in the car or from afar, these questions get everyone talking, from the youngest to the wisest. They come from Baromo’s games for two: one answers, the other guesses, and you discover things you’d never have thought to ask.
