LIFEHACK: GET SOMEONE ELSE TO TELL YOU TO DO IT: THE GAME
10/10 Gives Bonus Spoon per use
I reviewed this for my #33in28 series on Thoughty! http://briebeau.com/thoughty/33in28-week-4-reviews/
An excerpt:
It’s a super simple game, but one of my favorites!
The game is laid out with high contrast color and big letters in a poster-sized sheet that could easily be printed out and posted on your wall to encourage play and help with the executive dysfunction many people experience due to mental illness, stress, or otherwise. I like the big squares with guidance on what to do based on your roll – whether that is learning, creating, nourishing yourself, cleaning, or more different things to help you get over the hump that is blocking you. It’s quite easy to play and effective!
To play the game, you roll 1d6 and do a task based on the result. While it may sound daunting, the game asks that you do just one thing – one push up, eat one bite of food, pick up one piece of trash, recycle one thing, etc. The mechanics are simple like the layout – dice roll, action, repeat if desired. It’s a good way to give impetus to an angsty brain and push you into doing something when you otherwise might not. I think it’s really clever and a fun way to try to bust out of a funk!
my current resolution is to only make zines, poetry and games. until the end of the world. this is what came out of it.
The Symphony of Darkness. The Patterns.
it's a sort of fold-your-path-adventure-game I guess ?
(hey that's a new genre I just made up)
Honestly this is great. Not only is it just a super nice little self-care ritual of a game, it's beautifully and cleanly formatted and presented. Big ups on this one.
