When I was a kid I used to play a game called Geography with my parents. It involved a map of the world with all the major cities, plus an egg timer and a spherical die that had letters on it instead of numbers. You would roll the die, and once you had the letter revealed the egg timer would be turned over. You had one minute to find as many cities as possible that began with that letter.
This blog post is about a website called 500 BC Foundry. I'm still not entirely sure what it is but the more I explore, the more interesting it becomes.
It may be that the problem in our 21st world is that we're TOO BUSY to really explore things that are deeper than superficial. 500 BC Foundry has many layers, though they also have tools to help you dig, if you can dig that.
When we're too busy it is because we have committed to too many things. The end result is an inability to focus on much of anything for very long because those various commitments are knocking at the door and on the windows.
ALL THIS TO SAY, slow down, take a deep breath and check out the 500 BC Foundry. There's a link at the end of this post.
One of the authors on the site is Plato-McBoar. The name should be considered a clue. Plato McBoar is our philosophizing, business-savvy boar with an irregularly large brain. He loves truffles with a side of tea and crumpets. (The tone here should also be a considered a clue.)
For what it's worth, one of the features on the site is a bit of Blockchain technology, which appears to have some real value for those who play to win. There are some people who feel that Blockchain will change the world as much as the Internet itself has disrupted everything.
This game, if I understand correctly, revolved around Digibles, which are digital collectibles. IF YOU PLAY YOU CAN GATHER DIGITAL CURRENCY and theoretically this currency can be exchanged for real world valuations.

According to Plato McBoar, "TapRoots is a game to help you know and grow yourself. Soon, with blockchain-powered rewards, we hope to make investing in yourself even more fun."

There are some people who have invested a lot of creative energy into making this online game in which players discover ancient truths and wisdom that they can apply to their present lives. At first brush it seems complicated, but as you take time to investigate various links and features, you will discover some rather profitable features and opportunities.
What Phelan, the Founder, discovered was that the insights from antiquity remain relevant today. This understanding led her to seek a way to share these insights via a new medium, in the tech-infused world we now live in, using the tools of our contemporary culture. The end result was TapRoots, a game of self-discovery.
In ancient times, people used sharpened flint as a tool. Today we have apps devoted to transferring the wisdom of the ages into our present seeking minds. That's what TapRoots is all about.

For what it's worth, I like what I've been finding in the 500 BC Foundry and TapRoots. I'm interested in what they are attempting to do. And it may be the right timing for this because there are so many distractions now to take us away from who we are. How can you be to thine own self true if you don't even know who you are?
So, I'm playing a new game, just to see where it goes. If you want to play, to be part of it, here's where you can learn more... and be part of a contemporary game that can potentially make a difference in your life.
