A Moral Board Reimagined

The Prompt

Design a variant of Gyan Chaupar that maps a different ethical or philosophical tradition onto the grid — Stoic, Aristotelian, Buddhist, or secular. Retain the core mechanic of dice-driven progression with shortcuts (ladders/virtues) and setbacks (snakes/vices), but replace the Indian moral cosmology with the stages, virtues, and failings of your chosen tradition. Playtest the variant with at least one other player and record what the adaptation revealed about the original.

Completion Criteria

A written specification of the variant (grid, virtues, vices, tradition adapted), the date of the playtest, and a short account of what the adaptation disclosed about the Indian original.
