This board game can be played alone, so instead of a competitive conflict betwixt adverse players, the single player of this board game can choose paths through the conflicting ethea of other people.

The Ethea Bored Game begins like most board games at a point of origin, and then navigates through the dominant rational systems of the respective player types. Will the player navigate to predestined first place through a structured series of rational choice decisions with the paranoia that someone is watching with the rules, or a wide variety of other player types? These will be featured in later editions.

Sounds a lot like a boardgame version of the “multiple endings” feature common to many video games.

I like the concept of bored games.

On some level the bored game could be a fast food outlet or a maze like furniture store called Idea.
