Three Things Taken FROM a Deserted Island
This game flips the classic ice breaker, "What three things would you take to a deserted island?" Players are asked, "What three things does your Returnee bring home from a deserted island and how do they use them to make sense of their new/old lifestyle?" The game is intended to take about 10-20 minutes to learn and set up, be played in one session / sitting of a couple hours, and be a source of laughter. It highlights how "simple" day-to-day tasksĀ can be annoying, challenging, and/or require effort that is often taken for granted. It only requires four six sided dice, a way to take notes, and any number of players to enjoy.
