Actualize This

Opis w języku angielskim: Welcome to earth, human! We wish you the best luck on your search for Enlightenment. Be wary, for the high-dimensional spiritual forest around you is full of life, including predators and parasites. Navigate your way to Self-Actualization, choosing your practices, relationships and guides wisely. This is an existential strategy card game where you manage your limited time to "Learn Lessons" (draft cards), complete needs on your personal player board, as well as fulfill secret life quests that you reveal at end of game. You begin life with some needs already met: air, physical health, and immune health. You begin lacking many more: Control, Clothing, and Shelter, etc. On your personal board you see your needs arranged in a triangle with rows. Each unmet need has a number and a color representing their cost in Gold, Awareness (red), or Virtue (black). Each of your cards represents how you can spend your time: Time is represented in blue, and an arrow shows how you can spend that time to gain another resource. The game is unveiled iteratively in 4 un-boxings, called the 4 Incarnations. Incarnation 1 introduces the basic concepts, Events, Quests, Lessons (Careers, Guides and Practices). Incarnation 2 introduces Relationships (a type of Lesson), the Psychosis Event and Lessons that carry a Psychosis Risk. Incarnation 3 introduces mechanics for long-term planning, and Incarnation 4 introduces the concept of Self-Actualization and Spiritual Alignments —description from the designer
