A Calendar Board Adapted

The Prompt

Design a variant of Patolli that adapts the fifty-two-square calendar-round structure to a different calendrical or cosmological system — the Gregorian year, a lunar calendar, the I Ching hexagrams, or another of your choosing. Retain the core mechanic of a cross-shaped race with binary dice and a devotional or wagering element. Playtest with at least one other player and record what the adaptation revealed about the original's deep structure.

Completion Criteria

A written specification of the variant (board, dice, calendar mapping, devotional element), the date of the playtest, and a short account of what the adaptation disclosed about the Aztec original.
