Board Games

Paradice - a game of Give and Take.

The "GREEN" Game
for today's consciousness.

Two-player strategy board game. Both chance and skill determine which player will be the "Giver" or the "Taker" of the four forests.

The object of the game. Save Paradice by getting the Humans from the four corners of the Earth to meet Eye to Eye anywhere on the board, before one acting alone ends the game. It is a game about life on Earth today, and gives adults and children much to think and talk about while they have fun. Paradice adorns the home and encourages values that support a global view of life. The pieces and box are beautifully made of farmed or recycled materials making this game "Green" in both message and fact.

More than a Game. Paradice can be used as a game, meditation conversation piece, or decoration for the office or home. It does not have to be finished to be enjoyed…. the stimulation of thought and conversation can be the reward.

The Green and Consciousness audience. The rulebook for the new "Green" version has been extended to accommodate a growing audience beyond the worlds of Art and Game. Paradice is developing a following in the Green and Conscious markets where people are resonating with its message. Since many of these new customers are not regular gamers, great effort has been put into introducing the game to them. The rule book begins with a fairy story designed to set the mood and "color" the game with inference in real life. The pieces and game are first referred to in reference to the story and then as players in the game, which is an interactive metaphor of it.

Easy to learn. Paradice is a new game and employs new concepts and techniques for play. Learning a new game can be intimidating for all but experienced gamers. This is especially the case for people who are not regular game players. For this reason the rules are introduced in three steps on a need to know basis. The rules are very simple and can be mastered in less then 5 minutes, but they are introduced in steps so that players can begin to play immediately.

Illustrated moves. We illustrate moves wherever possible.
