Samurai: Five Stones

Collect five of your favorite stones from a beach, forest, trail, cave, or a shop; then order them. These stones represent five stages in your samurai's life, from adolescence to the end of their days. Each stone was taken by your samurai when those events occurred. Use this eight-page zine as the artifact to decode their hidden meanings.

After interpreting your samurai's life through the stones, it's time to make a decision. What to do with the stones? And what does such an act mean?

Five Stones is a simple system with a strong physical, symbolic, and emotional impact. Designed to last no more than 30 minutes, this experience can be expanded or hacked to play other premises.
