Hierography - Tools for Practical Philosophy

The Game of Hierography

Hierography is a game, a meditative practice, and a reﬂection on meaning and purpose. It is a tool of practical philosophy that functions, essentially, as a storytelling machine.

Basic Game Kit

The basic game kit consists of a pair of twelve-sided dice with customized images, a game map, markers, and a manual with the concepts and rules. The dice are large; they have a satisfying 'chunk' to them. The game map is printed on fabric, so you can carry it with you wherever you go.

How it Works

In its basic form, the game is a structured conversation with a trusted friend. The rules are simple. Think of a life challenge, great or small. Ask yourself three questions about it; then roll the dice to find your answers. The game can be played as briefly or as long as you like.
