About the Game

Exploring the importance of thought-balance and the philosophy of Gross National Happiness (GNH). Rollpa is about the philosophy of GNH and how it relates to personal and societal well-being. You’ll also discover the role that ‘balance’ plays in being happy. Rollpa is the amalgamation of GNH philosophy, Shamatha meditation symbolism and UN Worldly Events. GAMEPLAY :

Players will be competing to Win the most number of Pyramids. Pyramids will be won by earning Merits for your Domains of Wellbeing by moving around the GNH board and hosting UN World Days. And hope not to meet an Indulgent Monkey or an Abstinent Elephant.

The mechanics used are to present the 9 Domains of Human Wellbeing from the Philosophy of GNH. The game is balanced by the Monkey and Elephant symbolism from Shamatha meditation, to show our minds’ interactions to the world around us. Rollpa is powered by 39 United Nations Days to raise awareness on the Global Sustainability Agenda.
