I got the privilege or hearing Mr. Mali playing with some children at a game cafe in Brooklyn. It was fascinating to see him work and the game was enthralling with the children he was playing with.

Thank you! That was this afternoon at Brooklyn Strategist, and I feel like you "caught me being good" (as elementary school teachers like to say). It was an interesting group, with a squirmy and garrulous soon-to-be 4th grader, a world-weary rising 10th grader, and everything in between. And almost all boys, which is rare! They did great work for me, and almost all of them bought a set after the two-hour workshop, which makes me feel like I've really invented something that will takes off!

This is an excellent idea

I think I'll back the combo, since you'll give one set to a teacher, and I'll give one to my wife, who's ALSO an English teacher, teaching abroad. Win-win? I think so! And it would probably make things a lot easier for her students, as English is their second language and it can be hard to come up with metaphors in a second language. This is ingenious! Thank you! =)

Michael Berthelsen That’s exactly right! The dice give you a push in a poetic direction!

Taylor Mali I just noticed that it's only available to ship within the US. Can I still get the set for my wife sent abroad...? Wanted to ask on Kickstarter (others may also want to know), but I'm not logged in right now...

Hmmm. What about this strategy: Just back at the regular 2-sets level, but add an extra penny (I think it will let you do that, although you might have to add a dollar, I'm not sure). I will see the odd amount and remember, "This is the guy who wants one set sent to a teacher and the other overseas!" Worst case scenario is you still get two sets and your WIFE picks the teacher to give the second set to!

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

Taylor Mali Thanks! I'll try that once I get logged in later, see what Kickstarter has to say about it. I'll also leave a note here once I've backed, in case you want to make a note somewhere about it.

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

I've just supported at the $36 level, but for quite a bit more. I decided to support for two times the $34 level + the shipping. Hope it's possible to get two sets for my wife and a friend who's also a teacher, and have you send two sets to two teachers as well. Is that possible?
