Launching Saturday: I fell in love with a board game I couldn't give to anyone

Leela (Gyan Chauper) is the Indian board game that Snakes and Ladders was made from, before it lost its meaning. 72 squares, each one a state of mind.

But you don't play it alone. You play it with a facilitator - someone sitting across from you, asking what you see on the square you just landed on. Without that person it's a pretty board and nothing happens. That's why almost nobody plays it, and that's what I couldn't get over.

Leela Online - An ancient self-knowledge game with a built-in AI guide

Leela Online is the ancient Indian game of self-knowledge (Gyan Chauper: 72 squares, snakes and arrows) played online with a built-in AI guide who leads your game one-on-one — asking questions, not giving answers. Bring one real question, roll the dice, and walk the board to your own answer in an evening. Three free starts, no card.
