      Yes Claire, the design of the UBUNTU CARD deck is similar to Spot It cards – the biggest differences are that UBUNTUs are double-sided and are intended for facilitating conversations about ‘UBUNTU’ that is, to help people connect and discover that we have many common bonds that bind us all. Enjoy!
