Taking a page out of the Mowglis' playbook, Mowglis graduate Chris Kriesen has just released a new game called "Kindred" that is worthy of the Mowglis - "unplugged and authentic" label - to borrow a phrase. When it came across my desktop my first thought was that this game would fit easily in a backpack or a back pocket and electricity was not just optional but unnecessary.
Knowing Chris, I presumed that both the name and the purpose of this game were very intentional and I was not disappointed.
If you've been drinking from the firehose of bad news and dystopia that most of us have faced, this game sounds like a great way to get people communicating with one another again.
No APP, no phones, Just communication, pure and simple . . . and perhaps some real community building in the process.
