The Death Deck is a game that stimulates lively conversations about a topic that we rarely discuss; death. With multiple-choice questions and a dose of humor, The Death Deck helps to get important conversations started. The creators have now launched a new tool designed specifically for those experiencing serious illness or advanced age, The EOL (End-of-Life) Deck.
