Read the opinion of Dr hab. Jarosław Krajka from the Maria Sklodowska-Curie University in Lublin:

"The main advantage of the game is a very wide range of vocabulary used on the cards as main and auxiliary words. It should be emphasized that there is a huge variety of words, both belonging to general and specialized lexis, formal and colloquial, more or less idiomatic, for which the common denominator is it is closely related to the labor market, economy and business. Thanks to this, despite the relatively simple rules of playing, the presented didactic means is sufficiently demanding towards the student and duly helps to develop their specialist lexis.

The manner of execution, durability and simplicity at the same time enable flexible use of the game in various contexts, in various ways, in various places, both in the form of informal and formal education. A creative English teacher for Business Purposes will certainly find a lot of interesting ways to use the game cards in the different phases of the lesson. "
