Adrianna Tan

My wife @sabcatsilver, a psychology student, created a card game that helps therapists (and people) talk about grief, end of life care, and perspectives on life.

I am soooooo proud of her!! Currently it’s a prototype for class, but she may publish it in the future. Thanks to folks who helped on Mastodon! We got it printed on GameCrafter

@skinnylatte @sabcatsilver This is a GENIUS concept. It could easily applied to other specialized sets supporting other kinds of conversations. Brilliant.

@skinnylatte @sabcatsilver If interested drop me an email [email protected] and I'll refer you to some people who can help you copyright your concept, and package it for the mass market. No kidding, this is a moneymaker IMHO. :-)

@skinnylatte @sabcatsilver BTW I haven't forgotten about this two years later, and would still very much like to try out the game. (I'm a tabletop game fan; my wife has worked in end of life care; together we have given a presentation she titled "How to be a thoughtful dead person.")

As an old person whose husband hates to/refuses to discuss end-of-life stuff, this sounds very useful!

@skinnylatte @sabcatsilver Even thinking about what content there might be is making me sad, but in a healthy way. This seems like a really strong way to bring up questions and answers that would otherwise never feel right. What a great idea.

@skinnylatte @sabcatsilver some friends of mine created a similar game called Morbid Curiosity several years ago -- a bit irreverent but yet serious too, with a goth sensibility.

https://www.morbidcuriositygame.com/

Morbid Curiosity A Wickedly Fun Party Game About Death

Our game will challenge you to explore the greatest mystery of all - death. Using skillfully crafted questions players weave between trivia, culture, history, and personal experience. Be as lighthearted or deadly serious as you like. Get ready for a delightfully morbid game night.

Oddly it was a board game about cats. I haven’t seen it on kickstarter yet😅. Are you two going the kickstarter route. I also have some connections in the nursing end of life community. Which would be so useful I think personally!
