As an active Quaker I am critical of my religion’s over application of this process to every decision. It typically results in half-baked decisions and can result in people having the irrational expectation that their voice automatically contributes something of value. There needs to be some very careful expectation setting at the outset that while each voice deserves to be heard, not all ideas carry have the same merit. Now to be fair, my fellow Quakers are typically mystics and believe in a deep and direct personal relationship with a higher power so they also bring a belief that their ideas are divinely inspired, which may not be the case with the group you hope to apply this game to.

This particular game should never be done in isolation and should be used more as a fire-starter than a stand alone activity.
