A Board Reimagined

The Prompt

Design a variant Xuanfo tu board that adapts the fifteen-gate structure to a different contemplative or philosophical tradition — Stoic, Sufi, Kabbalistic, or secular. Retain the core mechanic of dice-driven progression through hierarchical states of consciousness, but replace the Buddhist cosmological content with the stages, virtues, or stations of your chosen tradition. Specify the gate structure, the dice inscriptions or their equivalent, and the rules governing ascent and regression. 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 (gate structure, dice or equivalent, rules of ascent and regression), the tradition adapted, the date of the playtest, and a short account of what the adaptation disclosed.
