Strata

To play this game you will need:

• Any type of map of any place: real, imaginary, on earth, in space, etc.
• Something to write with.
• A patch of earth.
• Spare time in the amount of ten years.

If time is short (and when is it not?) you can imagine playing instead of actually playing. To imagine playing this game, you will need:

• A map, real or imagined, of a real or imaginary place.
• An imagined character with an imagined past.
• An imagined future you, imagining the imaginary past of your imaginary character.
