The Game is a collection of props which I curated and created for use in my thesis project titled Mess!. I created the poker chips out of sculpey, and printed custom stickers to apply to the chips centers. In addition I created a set of odd dice, the Lollipop, the in game currency, the egg, as well as the games working spinner.
The Game is a way of depicting the way that social rules and expectations feel to me as a neurodivergent person. I wanted to create a game which doesn't seem to make any logical sense, where every move is simply a guess, and every mistake makes you more confused at how to play, setting you further and further behind everyone else. Truthfully, the game could be played in any way you want, however there is a list of unspoken rules which nobody tells you, and I have never been sure why that is.
