The Ungame is a non-competitive conversation board game created by Rhea Zakich in 1972 and published in 1973. Players move around the board with the aid of a die and answer personal questions from cards, while the other players listen and respond only when prompted. Unlike a competitive board game, it has no winners or losers and ends at the players' own discretion, typically after a set time limit.
