wellness
a 43beans joint
=> 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.
