British author, speaker and international advisor on education in the arts to government, non-profits, education and arts bodies, Sir Kenneth Robinson, said "Creativity is putting your imagination to work, and it's produced the most extraordinary results in human culture." Imagination is truly powerful, and the more we use it, the better it becomes. In this game, simple rules and game components give the players just enough to get them started and nothing to hold them back.
Indian economist and an international academician, Raghuram Govind Rajan, said "Competition is like a treadmill. If you stand still, you get swept off. But when you run, you can never really get ahead of the treadmill and cover new terrain - so you never run faster than the speed that is set." But what if you could shift the direction in which that treadmill was moving? Say, from going forward to backwards and then sideways? That would certainly cause many to fall on their face. In this game, expect the ground you are building your victory upon to shift without warning.
British publisher, Henry George Bohn, said "Every dog is a lion at home." In this game, each player will control a small set of marbles (or dogs, if you like). The objective is clear. Take those marbles and bring them home, but the road is not an easy one to travel. As they journey, players will encounter other "dogs" who will get in the way and even cause progress gained to be quickly lost.
American hedge fund manager, entrepreneur, bestselling author, venture capitalist and podcaster, James Altucher, said "Poker is a skill game pretending to be a chance game." Poker is a card game that has been played for generations. Be it around the campfire out on the lone prairie or at a high-stakes table in Vegas, the game is always the same. Play your card, take a risk, and attempt to out think your opponent. This Poker derivative, however, adds a twist.
American poet, peacemaker, and a philosopher who played, Mattie J.T. Stepanek, said "Unity is strength... when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved." In this game, all players must work together to save their castle. This is a children's game, but the lessons in cooperation it teaches is worth an adult's time. Get the family together and save your kingdom!
American science, nature and travel writer, David Quammen, said "You can't take a knife on a plane anymore, but you can get on carrying a virus." Suggesting that a virus is just as dangerous as a weapon, which is correct. The Center for Disease control calculated that 48.8 million people suffered the flu in 2018. Out of that number, 79,400 lost their lives to it. Death by a virus. Something so small you need a powerful microscope to see it. In this game, you will play as the virus attacking the body. It's an epic battle at a very micro-level.
