I'm thinking about getting the physical copies of this and Addition, but what is in Dwelling: Expanded edition? How different will it be?

It's great because they can use food words, hotel staff names, card names, animal names, types of hotels, etc. Students can from all levels can play (I tutor adults). The thing that confuses them is the name. More than once they've said, "We're playing a Japanese game??" Other than that they totally get the concept. I was looking for a journaling game for me, but when I came across this game, I knew instantly it would be perfect for my students, thank you!
I've used this game with some of the people I volunteer to teach ESL (English as a second language). I'll set up the game for them and let them do their thing and will guide them along the way. I will play along with them but usually will be simpler so they can follow along and ask any sort of questions and use it as a guide.
Just this past week I decided to play it just for myself without any students and I was surprised at just how gonzo it got. It went from one of the guests going on a catnip bender and trashing the hotel room to another "getting into business" with the head chef and his special dried banana peels. You can go from cozy to crazy depending on how you feel. Quite fun, and a great teaching game!
