I’ve thought about this a lot in context of larp debriefs: I think “highlight something somebody else did that was awesome” tends to lead to some people feeling stressed: it can feel like an award scorecard where some people win all the apprecation and some people lose.

But in Here Is My Power Button, it works wonderfully, since the game is about 1-on-1 relationships, and so you give exactly one compliment and receive one compliment.

So I think maybe the tabletop version, that also skirts the “people being too generic” issue is “call out a cool thing the person on your left did in the game”
