The inspiration for this game came from my brother-in-law Dani Blorian, who wrote a book about his volunteer work in hospice. He collected stories from people at the end of their life journeys and learned how they value their lives and what their major regrets are. As I was working on this game, the pandemic forced us to change the way we live. All of us needed to stay at home and limit social contact with loved ones and with friends. I was inspired to develop this game to reflect what we have learned about the important things in life during these challenging circumstances. The values, habits, and wishes that you will see on the cards came from the five main regrets that people cite and some of the lessons I gathered from many conversations I had over the many months of the pandemic.

The inspiration for this game came from Dr. Karen Raivich at the University of Pennsylvania, who taught a course about “Resilience Skills in Times of Uncertainty.” One definition of resilience is “the ability to sustain stress and thrive” or “the ability to have adverse life circumstances and be able to sustain oneself,” bounce back and do well. It is a complicated, multifaceted concept. In this game, I highlight some of the main aspects of resilience. The aim of the game is to help the player uncover their own abilities to thrive in the face of challenges, as well as expand and use different tools to strengthen their internal resilience.
