Person. Do. Thing.

Many many years ago I created a lighthearted game by the name of Person Do Thing. It sits at the intersection of philosophy experiment and stupid party game, asking: what is the smallest set of words that you can use to describe everything?

Here's how it works: you try to describe a term using only a very small set of other, simpler words (like Person, Do and Thing). So, for example, if you want to describe website, you might say "person in place and many-person in other place, person use thing do thing like-say thing, other person see."

As shown above, you will sound like an idiot but in an inexplicably hilarious way. You will mind-meld with friends to find strange, poignant ways of evoking common experiences. You will laugh, curse, and transcend to a higher understanding of language, the human spirit, and (ultimately) yourself.

More than a decade later, the game is finally getting the high-quality physical-embodiment it deserves. Here's what it looks like in action:

Look at those people for a moment. No really, look at them; they are having unbearable amounts of fun. They are also incredibly attractive, and clearly lead phenomenal lives: they are adored by all who meet them, and bring joy to the very fabric of the universe.

Is it possible that all you need in order to be like them is to spend $20 on a board game? At that price, you can't afford not to try it. You* can be like those people by pre-ordering the game now:

*unfortunately this is only true if you live in the US; if you live elsewhere, you can at least express interest with your email address here. But if you have friends in America who you wish could be happy, you could forward them this note and/or buy them the Christmas gift of a lifetime.

Good person want feel more good and think more good? Get Person Do Thing, say no big thing, make many person think good.
