=> Preface <=
|
|
Welcome to wellness! This is a short compilation of
|
|
small games about pausing to take care of yourself. It
|
|
was originally conceived of by acdw[1] and developed by
|
|
43beans[2].
|
|
You will find three small, one-page games in this
|
|
volume:
|
|
=> Wellness d66: A game that requires two six-sided
|
|
dice and provides 36 activities.
|
|
=> Wellness d12: A game that requires one twelve-
|
|
sided die and suggests a few sample activities
|
|
based on the die roll.
|
|
=> Wellness Lite: Requires two coins.
|
|
They are all essentially the same game, differing only
|
|
slightly in the effort required and materials needed to
|
|
play them. So you can choose which to play based on
|
|
your energy, surroundings, and other circumstances.
|
|
Wellness d66, for example, requires almost no ef-
|
|
fort because you don't have to think up any activities;
|
|
they are provided for you. But you have to have two
|
|
dice on you, and the paper in order to look up your
|
|
rolls.
|
|
Wellness Lite, on the other hand, can be played
|
|
anywhere, with no additional materials (besides two
|
|
coins). But you might have to think up some activities
|
|
on your own.
|
|
Finally, Wellness d12 occupies the middle ground.
|
|
You can commit its rules to memory after playing a few
|
|
times. And after doing so you only need a twelve-sided
|
|
die to play.
|
|
It is my sincerest hope that this game brings you
|
|
peace and comfort and wellness.
