Full game kit, including letterpress game board, 16mo rulebook in cloth-covered boards, letterpress spinner, lasercut wood text strips, die, pencil and sharpener, wooden marker shapes, "life markers" of plastic arrows and large tokens, and a collaborative ledger book. The game occurs entirely in the moment, asking the player to arrange the pieces and play them out in accordance with their own life experiences, their immediate perceptions, and their moods. Infinitely manipulable, the game operates as a medium for the player, who can experiment with material expression and contemplation. All materials housed in box with pockets, drawers, and central inlay for the ledger and board. This copy with an additional ledger, to support extensive play. Fine.
