Collecting and buying board games is a bit like getting your first tattoo. You don't know what you are doing, odds are you'll invest in something silly, and you'll feel obligated to show it off. After a bit, you'll get a hankering to get another one (be it a board game, tattoo or even both) and the next thing you know, you've spent a small fortune on that which you love.

Gamification is the use of game thinking and game mechanics in a non-game context in order to engage users and solve problems. For this game, solving problems is focused on group cooperative team play to tackle some of life's most difficult and personal issues. Physical, social, and psychological problems will be presented to the players to address as a group. No one player can do it all alone, however, and only by working together can all the problems be successfully solved.
