Paradice
This game is a work of art, not only in appearance, but in the story behind the game. You might have to play it to understand it better, but here is my shot at an explanation. In a Universe of four forests, each with a Forest Spirit, players compete to become the Giver, who gives trees, and to bring Human Beings eye-to-eye to form the Blue Pyramid – before the Taker, who takes trees and draws Human Beings apart, stops them, that is. Of course, on any roll of the die the Circumstance Changer can cause the Opportunity for Givers to become Takers, and vice versa. Thus, each player experiences both points of view in a single game. The beautiful challenge is that only the Giver can win the game. Meditate on this powerful goal, you shall. If this game doesn’t make you walk away thinking about being more green, nothing will. The game uses non-toxic dyes and the rest of the pieces are made from wood off-cuts that are sustainable. Not just for children, the strategy behind the game will appeal to adults as well.
