I too struggle/thrive with ADHD. I love the idea of the game, and the ideas within. One challenge is that I’m not sure how to approach it as a player that deals with ADHD in real life. “You are an alternate version of yourself. You have ADHD.”


I learned two things about myself reading the rules of the game:

1. The idea of reflecting on what I’ve accomplished in a day is really stressful for me. I feel anxious right now actually. I often feel guilt about the things I hyper-focussed on, and the things I didn’t give enough time and attention.

2. I struggled to read all the rules. I think it’s because there are no graphical elements to help me scan and go straight to the parts that “hook” my brain. This is not a criticism of the game, just an observation from an ADHD brain.


In short, I like that ADHD is being covered, it made me reflect on my own experiences, and as written I think it’s probably more appropriate for neurotypical minds to play in order to increase their understanding.

Yeah, my primary audience for the game has always been those without ADHD to help them understand what it's like. Most of the ADHD effected people that playtested the game had a similar experience, myself included. I found it emotionally draining, but there were some with ADHD that didn't have that reaction. I think it depends on how ADHD presents in the person.

If you have anyone in your life who has difficulty understanding what you go through, pass this along to them. I hope it helps if you do. 🙂
