This is such a cute idea! Angel and I agree that doing this with books, especially like children's books, would also be terrific. The discussions about what's a treasure and what's a monster would be fantastic 🤣

So glad you like it! And what a fun idea to use different types of texts - I’ll have to try it out!
Absolutely! In fact, I didn't think about it til now, but our local library often sells leftover books super cheap. We could probably grab some and use those for the game!
Heck, I never even considered how using cheap books would both give them new life and also be a cool game mechanic. There are like Half-Price Bookstores and stuff all over, and it's usually pretty easy to find a book for $1 or less... 🤔
Thanks for giving me something to think about, in addition to the original game! :D
