CARY, N.C., Nov. 29  /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Are you looking for the perfect mate? Just in time for the holidays, CraZmates (pronounced crazy mates), the Relationship Game for Teens & Young Adults, is the first board game of its kind that dares to challenge how we choose mates, evaluate character and assess relationships. Created by single mother Pamela Davis and her college-age son, Vaughn, the game is designed specifically for teens and young adults (recommended ages 15 to adult). The game retails for $24.95 and is available for purchase at select retail stores and online at  HYPERLINK "http://www.crazmates.com/" http://www.crazmates.com/.
"I wanted CraZmates to challenge the way we look at relationships, and of course I wanted it to be entertaining," said Pamela Davis. "I love to see people's reactions when they play. It's amazing to see how much of the content resonates with all ages."
Endorsed by some of the nation's top psychologists and relationship experts, CraZmates moves beyond the typically dreaded conversations about the birds and the bees, and in many ways supersedes the ever-changing sex education programs. While the game includes content that addresses some of the more typical young adult dating challenges, such as pressure to have sex, unwanted pregnancies and STDs, it also delves into a number of core relationship dynamics. Players may find themselves with a mate who is disrespectful, controlling, manipulative, verbally or physically abusive. CraZmates also has a way of revealing individual dating styles, providing glimpses into the players' ability to pick up on warning signs and their willingness to enforce boundaries. Parents, educators and mentors are finding CraZmates to be a great tool for fostering dialogue about dating challenges in a fun, non-threatening context.
