Mind Space
Where Is Your Mind?
A Mindful Polyomino Roll & Write
Breathe in…Breathe out… Achieve serenity! Mind Space is a roll-&-write game in which players try to seek calm and peacefulness by adding pursuits to their brains. Each pursuit is a polyomino shape of a certain color.
Purple: Friendship
Orange: Hobbies
Pink: Romance
Blue: Self Improvement
Green: Finances
How does anyone fit all of that in?
Five pursuit (polyomino) cards are available each round. You roll five dice to assign colors to those shapes. Then, you have to decide which shape to draw on your brain board.
Along the way, you can earn points by fitting different aspects of your life together.
After 12 rounds, the game's over! Receive points by completing sections of the brain, achieving public goal cards, and meeting the criteria of each color.
Mindfulness Tips
Strategy
Consider Trying To Get Money Early
Being able to spend money can get you a coveted extra shape or black square. This can make a huge difference!
Focus On Getting a Goal Before Your Opponents
Getting one of the goals first is a big advantage. If you can’t get one first, you might consider pivoting; take shapes that better fill out your board instead!
