I Am So Lost

zeminith,
at the zenith,
where none can reach.
Wondering Wanderer


What will your reflection think?
Who’s imitating who?
Who’s emulating who?
The Dark and The Light.

What to make of this.

To play the perfect fool?

Or did fate

make the perfect fall?

Design Log:

Why I wanted to modify this game. At one period played quite intensively in camp. Ha, in army, you do things intensively for a period, kinda like a craze. We had pokemon, PSP, scrabble, drama serial crazes for example. Life’s like that. Maybe cos there is time to kill.

Well, realized that the game can be quite stale. All players will follow an identical strategy of buying all properties they land on, and not trading them so others cant form a full colour group. What ensure then is all mindless dice rolling and following instructions. Amazingly most people still find it fun, even when the outcome is actually out of their hands and with the dice.

Tried out some random ideas with a supportive friend victor. Thanks! Half a year later, with sporadic work, version one is out.

The premise is for fun interactive play that can be outrageous yet fun.
Movement cards for strategic interactive movement.
Brought Auction back into the game. Monopoly nowadays hardly have any auctions.
Exciting Chance cards.
Fluid play unlike standard games where the properties become stagnant.


First playtest. Slow progression/ Complexity of game exaggerated by slow pace. > changed to initial draft of some properties to encourage active intervention.

CNY is a practice of tradition, same things different year. In the rapid changing world, unchanging tradition is refreshing. Yet unchanging has a shade of boredom.

Disconnected. Adrift. Hmm…

1st day, CNy visit to maternal relatives. Interesting, more interaction. Magic of games, though not as exciting as hoped. A stepping stone… A step forward, a progression, finally a move after years of stagnation. More words exchanged in 10min then 10 years... Whereby, in the past, where we only meet once a year, hardly speaks, exchange greetings and bid farewell again.

2nd day paternal relatives. Watched movie played blackjack. Sounds kinda repetitive? But well, learn, try to enjoy…

3rd day, syd bai nian. Alright. Disappointing that some left early… But maybe, each exposure will increase susceptibility and reactivity. Well, quite fun. Though playtest not as ideal… Blackjack and mahjong, quite lucky. Always have this weird concept of manipulating luck flows? Lol.

Have this strange intuition that things are not as rosy as it seems. Hidden…

It is so plain in front of me yet I did not notice. The much envied carefree and non political nature is the bane. It is because of this nature that we are not progressing, stagnant. The sense of involvement can only be brought about the assigning of roles and responsibilities. Fierce friendships will be forged even as fierce battles and enemies made. Civil war is necessary for the flames that will scourge the weak and the deviant; to harden/forge* the survivors into a united and powerful force. Do I grief, do I regret; for the loss of innocence, for the countless deaths and the many more to come as it renews itself each cycle...? Oh the price of progress. A slow, stagnant death is not mercy.
