My Gift of Grace is a conversational card game that explores themes of life and death. The product is described as a game that helps players "live and die well" and crushes the common stereotypes that are associated with one's final moments.
While death is a taboo subject for many who focus on its morbid and final elements, this game encourages players to discuss life and death freely and prepares one for their last days.
The concept for My Gift of Grace began as a crowdfunded venture on Kickstarter and is not available for purchase online. The game is priced at a $24 rate and encourages players to celebrate life while accepting and coping with the fact that they will one day die.
