You did a great job capturing the feel of the song you chose for inspiration. The song feels nostalgic and wistful, and the game is thoughtful and introspective. I feel like this would be really therapeutic in times of transition for many people. I do think your rules lay out could benefit from a "for example" or a couple really small clarifications. Such as in the last sentence it says "You win if you fill in all the blank spaces and there are still numbered spaces visible. Should numbered spaces be lettered spaces, since your lines are A-H and you would be writing those in when you first roll through your lines and fill in the grid? Secondly just a quick mention that when you're through you will have 8 lettered spaces and 8 blank spaces in the first section of the explanation of game play, and the change of numbered to lettered in the win parameters section might do the trick as well. I will enjoy pulling this game out when I inevitably face changes in my life. Thanks for the introduction to a new song as well, I enjoyed the listen.
