WU WEI Blog

Whether it intends to or not, every game conveys a message to its players. Many times, this message is conveyed through the goal of the game, the theme, and the mechanics (the ways players can interact with the game). In Wu Wei, there is a pervasive theme of interconnection and change. As players race to visit each master their actions are intentionally or unintentionally changing the board for other players. Whether they want to or not, players have to adapt to the changing environment if they want to win. There is strategy, but there is no perfect plan. Succeeding in Wu Wei takes a flexible plan, an open mind, and special attention to the consequences of one’s actions.
