A mind-game is a game where you control the characters, the world, and every thing in between - a breathing, living story. A story that you can create on your own, and come back to time after time. A story with surprises that you will plant for yourself to find later, and never be the wiser! What will happen in your game? It's up to you to find out! User summary: The games in this book are extracted from a much larger, fourteen volume series of similar games. Each game presents an introduction and poses several questions to establish and customize your character. Next, each game presents a situation and poses questions to establish your motivation and goals. Finally, each game presents a few non-player characters and possible complications. From this point forward, the remainder of the game is played entirely in the imagination of the single player. While each game offers structure and setup, there are no rules, per se. The meta-game Shadows and Treasures presents a type of shadow world of the imagination where significant items from other games in the book can be transported and stored.
