It's a really refreshing game concept, thank you for sharing it. Here are some ideas for development: a sensitive map of the path leading to the different places, perhaps with surprising conventions as map legends; if it's a game about building a better community, perhaps also consider a more political layer, for example about marginality, where we indicate how emancipatory or alienating places are for the people who cross our path (as in the work of artists such as Larissa Fassler). Maybe this is off topic, but it just came to me, so I'll put it here! Well done again!
Thanks! I love the idea of those additional layers, maybe for the next iteration. Another user suggested laying it out in 11x17 so there’s space to attach or insert a map in the middle of the tables. Lots to think about!
This game is so wonderful! I can’t wait to try it out 😄 Similar to my new game, The Healthy Adventurer!
It would also be a great fit for the Healthy Game Jam if you like!
Oooooooo interesting! I’ll check it out. Thanks!
This game is beautiful. I'm going to see if my table is interested in playing along with me!
Thanks! I would love to hear how it goes. Keep me posted!
