Symbol Civilization
The Symbols are powerful because they represent invisible realities through visible signs like wallpapers on a cell phone screen or notes in your journal for added narrative pleasure. The game is designed to be played anytime, anywhere with just the note-keeping system and additional material necessary (if you can mentally track progress). Open ends allow players discretion over what symbols are associated with biomes/big versus small aspects of civilization designations as well as personal journals filled in narratives about discovered civilizations based on player findings. The game is also available for download, including a word document format along with three differently-sized cellphone wallpaper sizes to fit different devices' wallpapers if needed (please let us know).
