Pros
Reusable gel sleeve, so no loose ice needed.
Lies flat for storage.
Fits 0.7–1 L bottles.

Quick to learn and play.
Contains 96 illustrated cards.

It is competitive rather than cooperative.

What to buy someone who loves getting to know someone new
The best gifts for new relationships are small and light. Chocolate, a candle or a game for two suits the early weeks without feeling too much. Avoid anything expensive or personal. If you are not sure about their taste, choose something to share.
