Finde

Are you in the mood for a fun and exciting weekend? Or maybe one that’s more reflective and laid-back? In Finde, you’ll have to use all your skills to enjoy a weekend full of adventures. In Finde, each player lives through a weekend by managing cards to improve their key skills — Feeling, Thinking, Sharing, and Enjoying — while keeping their Energy in check. The game unfolds over four phases: on Friday, players choose their starting traits that shape their personal play area. On Saturday Day and Saturday Night, players play cards to boost themselves or challenge others by swapping traits and activating special effects. Watch out for overdoing it — too many excesses can lead to addictions, which will limit the skills you need to win. Finally, Sunday is scoring time, where points are tallied based on secret goals, card effects (like statuses and instant or global effects), and penalties for players with too much Energy. The player with the highest score at the end of Sunday takes the win! The game introduces concepts related to leisure styles, drugs, behavioral addictions, and warning signs that might indicate someone is developing an addiction. The goal is for players to become aware of the factors that can encourage or prevent the development of addictive behaviors. Finde is a card game developed by the PlaytheWay label from the SIAD association and funded by the Government of Spain’s delegation for the National Plan on Drugs. —description from the designer
