The Games of Life

Hello Gamers and Makers! Welcome to this weeks episode of The games of Life, a podcast where we interview game makers about their game in the hopes of finding the important and meaningful life lessons that are hidden within its rules and mechanics. Though games are fun and entertaining, often being a healthy and constructive pastime promoting laughter and friendship, we believe board games can serve an even deeper purpose by teaching us these crucial life lessons and allowing us to find comfort and personal growth as well. Thank you so much for listening The Games of life! Now onto this weeks episode!

This week on The Games of Life, we interview Shannon Kelly, the Maker of Runika and the 6-Sided Spellbooks, currently live on Kickstarter!

We explore his life, thoughts, and processes in developing the game, and come to the conclusion that Runika teaches us an AMAZING life lesson on Perspective. Don't miss it!

Take a moment this week and examine your life and situations that you've experience through the lens of Perspective. Try to look at it from different angles. Imagine what that situation can teach from another point of view. Use this mindset when tackling new experiences and new situations. You have what you need to play The Games of Life!
