Whose life is full of happiness and without any troubles and losses? Appearance of what you see, what you hear, is this all the truth? Do you really know the people around you? Or they just want to let others not worry about them? Everyone needs to know how to release their emotions and pressure, don't keep repressing them and make things become worse!

I hope that through this project, youth who are 15-24 years old, and suffering from depressed emotions,can have an opportunity to open their hearts. Express some topics, emotions and feelings that are rarely brought up, so that people can notice their needs and help them to avoid getting the real depression.

The art piece is a card game. Designed with opinions from social workers and boardgame experts. It is suitable for the general public to have fun together, and it is also suitable for social workers and people in need to play and open their hearts.

Add fun and immerse players with challenging game objectives. It can also inadvertently guide players to relax their defences through the card content, so that players can talk more. Different characters also have their own brief profiles to guide players to increase empathy.

In addition, in order to encourage and give motivation and courage for players to express their feelings, winning and losing and reward and punishment systems are indispensable. Players can choose according to their own wishes. Moreover, in the process, they can also feel whether the people around them need help or enlightenment. Early detection and people’s help can effectively help them deal with their depressed emotions.
