Samurai: Five Stones
A downloadable game
Collect five of your favorite stones from a beach, forest, trail, cave, or a shop; then order them. These stones represent five stages in your samurai's life, from adolescence to the end of their days. Each stone was taken by your samurai when those events occurred. Use this eight-page zine as the artifact to decode their hidden meanings.

After interpreting your samurai's life through the stones, it's time to make a decision. What to do with the stones? And what does such an act mean?
Five Stones is a simple system with a strong physical, symbolic, and emotional impact. Designed to last no more than 30 minutes, this experience can be expanded or hacked to play other premises.

Recoge cinco de tus piedras favoritas de la playa, campo, camino, cueva o de una tienda; luego ordénalas. Estas piedras cuentan cinco etapas de tu samurái desde su adolescencia hasta el final de sus días. Cada una fue tomada por tu samurái cuando dichos acontecimientos tenían lugar. El zine funciona como el artefacto necesario para descodificar el significado oculto en ellas.

Tras interpretar la vida de tu samurái a través de las piedras, llega el momento de tomar una decisión. ¿Qué hacer con las piedras? ¿Y qué significa tal acto?
Five Stones es un sistema sencillo de gran carga física, simbólica y emocional. Ideado para no durar más de 30 minutos, esta experiencia puede expandirse o hackearse para jugar otras premisas.

Beautiful five stones! :)

Que cosa tan bonita 🔥
Un juego que solo importa la experiencia, entender que le pasa y su pasado, entender a tu PJ y por qué hizo todo. Creo que has hecho un juego precioso, como todos, enfocando en la experiencia de la jugadora 🩷
