Empress3's Infinity Feng Shui Fortune Telling
Game |
While
unlocking the secrets of your future once may have involved the
cryptic assurances of a clairvoyant, a dance with destiny now awaits
the curious in Empress3's
Infinity Feng Shui Fortune Telling Game.
The
game has earned praise for its unique mélange of ancient
eastern influences and breezy divination, equally suited for serious
introspection or party diversion. Since debuting at the International
New Age Trade Show West in June 2002, the game has made headway
among gamers looking for a different type of game experience.
The
game incorporates the ancient principles of Feng Shui by utilizing
a compass and board design to show the Eight Directions and the
Spiritual Center. Five eight-sided quartz dice represent the traditional
elements of the age-old Chinese art and are based on ancient oracle
blocks used to cast lots, according to Sarah Hayden.
"Feng
Shui can be an incredibly complex subject with scientific calculations,"
said co-inventor Hayden. "People today want immediate answers.
We integrated the basic principles [of Feng Shui] to give the best
possible energy flow for the best possible fortunes."
The
Infinity Feng Shui Fortune Telling Game is the brainchild of three
long-time friends. Channeling their diverse array of creative talents,
psychic Anne Miller, artist Susan Gill Jackson and author Hayden
have melded the best parts of a popular party game with the timeless
human yearning to fathom fate's designs.
The
game is suitable for any number of willing players, ages 8 and up.
