Saskatchewan man puts the ‘fun’ in funeral

How did you get creative during the COVID-19 pandemic? One Saskatchewan man invented a game that brings light to a sensitive subject.

While stuck at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, registered nurse Shawn Bourassa decided to add some extra fun to family game night. With that, ‘Youlogy’ was born.

The game turns the dark side of life into fun moments to share with the family. Together, players pull cards to create a character to mourn. The winner of the game must then perform a three-minute eulogy based on the character made during the game.
