Charged Up!

Note: a huge shout out to Angel who helped a LOT with the graphical layout: she chose the font, the battery image, and the image on the right side of the page. She also chose the background color of the card. It looks infinitely better than if I made it myself! 🤣 

You'll Need

• Yourself (this is a solo game, but can be played with or against others)
• One printed postcard
• Four standard dice (d6)
• A way to write a to-do list

The Game

Everyone knows we only have 24 hours in a day, but it's easy to forget we have a limited amount of ENERGY, too. Harnessing that energy and directing it somewhere worthwhile is the key to success, and when you're CHARGED UP, your life is too!

Roll four dice, set them into four categories of tasks, then write tasks out equal to the numbers you put into those categories. As you complete them, reduce the numbers on the relevant dice, and see how many dice you can reclaim from the card per day.

Did you roll lots of sixes and don't feel like accomplishing 20+ things today? That's fine! Watching TV, showering, playing games, listening to music, and literally anything you can think of counts too. Balance the work with some fun. We all know what happens when you have all work and no play...

While this is intended as a solo experience, you can also:

• Play competitively against others to see who can complete the most categories
• Play cooperatively by listing tasks that need to be done for a household, team environment, and/or project

Why Buy This When the Game is in the Images Over There?

So you can easily print them! There are two PDFs here:

• One simply has the card plus the example card so you can print them HUGE.
• The other has a set of four cards on one page, or three cards with the example card on the second page. Give the extras to people you like :D

Plus, buying it supports us and allows us to make more games, so thank you 🧡 

The Hyper 1 HOUR Game Jam

This game was created for Hyper 1 HOUR Game Jam #67 (Battery), which means I literally made it in an hour! Okay, so it took 81 minutes... but it was made FOR the jam!

I highly encourage you to check the jams out 🧡 They're every Friday at 6 pm Eastern, and Lýz livestreams them, including the theme reveal and playing entries after. She's super fun and encouraging and awesome!
