"Shift" is a really novel / fun board game [link]
Last night some friends from work and I managed to set it up finally. We got together to play an interesting board game that my friend Rebecca Kubla had discovered awhile back. It's a pretty cool game once you open yourself up to it and once you figure out the rules and get the flow. What I found most interesting about it was that with most any other game you have objectives, this one had the tired and true goal of reaching the end, but along the way across the game board you must divest your(self) game piece of these little rings which represent sorta like mental/emotional roadblocks. There's all kinds of squares to land on and it's a very social game meaning that it didn't get boring at all cause it keeps you engaged. I must admit that when I played it I wasn't in the right-mind as I had been tearing through bottles of Werewolf all night - still I was able to glean something from the game (as did others in attendance) and I can attest to actually feeling / experiencing the vaunted / fabled "shift" that is the games' namesake.
The game makes mention and references "A Course in Miracles" (ACIM) which is something of an interest to several of my friends. In and around work my friend Krystal has brought in the book and though I've only skimmed through a few pages I can tell that it does indeed have a lot of good ideas. Incidentally those friends who've embraced some of the thought-system have surely seen some amazing changes in their lives - as an outside observer looking in; it's pretty interesting seeing the changes in people and seeing the success / gains that have come their way.
