I've never used the "game" but have done saeances (sp?) via a home made ouili board and I most definitely believe they are real and there is some kind of "force" or spirit there. Only a couple of times was I scared, the rest of the time it was relatives (spirits) coming through, well, at least that's what the board told us. sometimes I was a little skeptical they were who they said they were.

I'd be really interested to know of other people's experiences??
