The Gameboard

Journal Entry – August 23rd, 2022

I was about to play some sort of game that required placing certain signs, markers, or symbols around a house. I would place the symbols onto a blueprint or map of the home. Anytime I would enter the house to explore it, there would be a statue that was representative of the symbol I chose in the exact spot of the home that I had placed it on this “gameboard” of sorts. There were other people exploring the house as well, commenting on the statues or my decisions regarding their locations, but I paid them no mind.

Each symbol represented something unique – a different class, if you prefer:

  • The symbol representing “Ninja” was placed in front of a window near the back corner of the home.
  • The symbol representing “Samurai” was placed in the center of its own room. This room was already adorned with various antiques, paintings, etc. Very decorated.
  • The symbols representing “Warrior,” “Fighter,” etc., were all placed together in a group in the center of the main room of the home.
  • A couple of symbols representing “Mage” or “Magician” were placed together in the corner of the main room separate from the others.
