ABOUT PERSONAL SPACE

Personal Space is a game about living your best life.

This is going to be a little different than most games. The whole reason for it is to provide a little escape from reality, giving you a different angle on your community, job, money, entertainment and more, all through an interactive tabletop game.

There is no win condition. No loss condition. We like to say you are winning if you are having fun. And with this style of game release, we have the unusual ability to introduce things over time to help make sure that you are winning. The game starts off pretty small and will grow through things that we plan to release, as well as things that will emerge in the community. We know this is ambitious. But that's exactly what's driving it.

THE HONOR SYSTEM

There's one important core rule to get out there as early as possible. The game uses an honor system. One that we would hope that everyone follows.

You will track your resources, possessions and money. If something is available for sale, you will need to spend a certain amount of money to buy it. What’s stopping you from just saying that you spent the money and then taking the item? Nothing, really except hope. We hope that our little society of planets is built on honesty.

Along with this comes things like QR codes. Sometimes they will provide a random result, or a specific result based on the date, time, etc. We ask that you only use your own codes and that you only use them during the game, when you use the actions that allow you to visit them. We’re trying to craft an experience, and build on that experience through your interaction and feedback. If you go around that, you’ll miss a little of the spirit of the game.

THE DISCORD SERVER

A lot of the multiplayer interaction will happen at the Personal Space discord server. Everything from events and tournaments, to the daily store presentation. There are also areas to post photos of your play sessions and interact with players (and their characters) from all over.

To join the discord server, use the following link: Personal Space Discord Server

BEFORE YOU PLAY

You have a planet with a unique number on it. This is yours and only yours. Before you use it, you need to add a few stickers to it to determine the location of everything.

PLACING STICKERS

In order to place stickers you will:

Roll two six-sided dice and place the sticker in the square of the coordinates rolled.
Choose either die to be the X axis and the other is the Y axis.
If you cannot place a sticker due to a sticker already being in this location, re-roll until you can place it.

STEP 1: THE RADIO TOWER

This is how you communicate with others.

STEP 2: YOUR WORKPLACE

This is where you will go to work.

STEP 3: YOUR RESOURCE GENERATOR

You need to check to see which resources your planet will generate, based on the resource generator that you received.

Hole - You will use the Hole sticker

Pond - You will use the Pond sticker

Tree - You will use the Tree sticker

Once determined, use the placement method above.

STEP 4: THE ROCKET LAUNCHER

This is how you travel to the Moons.

STEP 5: YOUR HOUSE

This is where you start your games.

1-2 - You will use the Top sticker

3-4 - You will use the Middle sticker

5-6 - You will use the Bottom sticker

STEP 6: YOUR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE

Before rolling to place the sticker, you need to roll to determine which type of house your neighbor will live in. Roll one six-sided die.

1-2 - You will use the Top sticker

3-4 - You will use the Middle sticker

5-6 - You will use the Bottom sticker

Your first neighbor has arrived. After placing the sticker write the number 1 in the circle on their card as well as the circle on their house.

Once completed, you are ready to play your first game! Use the above method to psetup any side moons that you receive as well.

DAILY SETUP

Personal Space may be played once per day. To start the game you will need to gather all of the components and setup your sheets.

COMPONENTS NEEDED

You will need the following to play each game:

CARDS	Your Character, all Neighbors, your Possessions, Job, and your Resource Generator.
MAPS	Your Planet and all Side Moons.
SHEETS	Your Daily Sheet, Log Sheet and Monthly Sheet any Hobby Sheets.

You need a new Daily Sheet and Log Sheet each day.
You need a new Monthly Sheet each month.

You can laminate and use your provided Daily/Log sheets with dry erase, or you can print a new one for each day.
Your Hobbies and Monthly Sheet both have items that carryover each day, so you may not want to laminate it.

Printable Sheets: Daily | Log | Monthly

PROVIDE YOUR OWN COMPONENTS

If you use 12, you will not need to write down your daily stats, and instead you can just mark them with dice. But it's 100% possible to use 6 dice instead of 12.

The number of each color listed below or use the provided Cube Card to cut out your own tokens.

The colors are not always needed, but occasionally they are.

SETTING UP YOUR TABLE

Place your Character, Planet, Side Moons (stacked), Neighbors (stacked), Daily Sheet, Log Sheet, Hobbies, Resource Generator, and Job all onto the table as you would like.

Set your Monthly Sheet and Possessions off to the side. You will use these for setup, then remove them from play until the end of the game.

Gather your cubes and dice and your preferred writing utensil.

SETTING UP YOUR DAILY SHEET

Check the real-life time, log it on your daily sheet. No matter how long your game takes, any action that considers time will only use the time you list here.

Check the real-life weather, log it on your daily sheet. Get as close as possible. If unsure, choose randomly. Apply any weather related effects.

+2 to your mood die at the beginning of the day. This cannot go above 6.

No Effect

-2 to your mood die at the beginning of the day. This cannot go below 1.

All resource locations provide +1 food resource (worm, fruit, fish) if any resources are produced.

Roll and place the 6 white cubes. You will roll the Horizontal coordinate first, then the vertical and place a white cube in each space. If there is already a white cube in that space, or if you roll your house, skip that space and remove the white cube from the game. The spaces that are covered in snow cannot be accessed today.

During a snow day, your job is optional. If your job is covered with snow, it's closed for the day.

When moving during a snow day, you must add one square to your movements.

Roll 6 dice for your daily stats. You have X re-rolls. X = the die value on your character card. For each X, you may choose any die and re-roll it.

Apply one die to each of the following areas:

Speed	Speed is a Value Stat that you will refer to each time you Move. The maximum amount of spaces you can move (including the space you are on) is your Speed +1. You may also reduce your speed die by 1 to move one extra space beyond the shape you draw for movement. You may do this more than once during a movement, reducing your die for each extra space you move.
Energy	Energy is an Upkeep Stat that requires updating whenever a row or column is full. At the time that you fill either, you must drop this die value down by 1. If you complete both at the same time, you have to drop it down by 2.
Mood	Mood is an Upkeep Stat that requires updating after every turn. After you take a turn, adjust it by +1, 0, or -1 based on how the turn effected your mood. If your character has a mood of 4 or higher, then they will take on the character trait shown by the smiley face. If the mood is 3 or below, they will take on the character trait shown on the frowney face.
Luck	Luck is a Bonus Stat that allows you to reduce it by 1 to re-roll any die.
Brain Power	Brainpower is a Bonus Stat that allows you to reduce it by 1 to modify any other die by +1 or -1.
Creativity	Creativity is a Bonus Stat that allows you to reduce it by 1 to use its (pre-reduction) number in place of any other die roll.

Place the dice onto your daily sheet into each stat space. If you do not have enough extra dice to use during the game, you can instead write the numbers down in a manner that can be erased and changed as the game goes on.

Log any daily goals. These are journal style goals that you would like to complete during the day. Feel free to skip them until you get a feel for the game.

Choose any possessions from your Possessions card that you would like to stuff in your pockets. You can carry up to 3 items total. Write them onto your sheet. Keep in mind that you cannot carry anything new if you fill your pockets.

Write your total # of each resource and money. This is equal to the end of the last game you played - check the log sheet from your last play.

Then put the log sheet away until the end of the game.

Place your character disc on your house and start your day!

TURN

Your day consists of a series of turns. Each turn you will Take An Action, handle any Upkeep, and end your turn by logging your action on the Action Log.

TAKE AN ACTION

There are many actions you can take. Initially, the list is fairly limited, but it will grow over time.

To take an action, you will draw the required shape on your daily grid, filling in the shape with the required letters. Then you will carry out that action.

ACTION: MOVE ALONG THE MAP

Draw a shape that represents the shape of your movement (starting with the location that you are in, and ending at your destination location), outlining the entire shape on the grid on your Daily Sheet. This shape can be rotated, but not inverted. Write an M into each of the spaces that you outlined.

Remember, your movement is limited by your Speed value. Check your Speed before moving.

ACTION: WORK YOUR JOB

Your job is required on days that it is open. Check the job postcard for the days of the week that you must go to work.

Time Cost: Each job has a time cost that you must draw onto your Daily Sheet grid.
It is represented by a number of squares and may have additional requirements. You will write a W into each of those squares.
Connected: Your squares must connect to each other on the grid.
Row/Column: Your squares must be in the same row/column.

Components needed: Job postcard, 1 yellow cube, 1 purple cube, 1 additional cube of any color, 6 dice.

Setup: Place the yellow and purple cubes as noted on the job postcard. Place the additional cube on the 1 hour space.

If you cannot draw all of the required squares, you cannot work your job.

Work Days: Each job has a set schedule of days that you work. If you play on those days, you must go to your job. You cannot go to your job on days that aren’t listed.

How to play: Your job will take a series of turns in which you roll all of the 6 dice, apply them to actions, and advance the hour.

Roll dice: Roll all 6 dice.

Apply Them To Actions: Each job will have unique actions. To use them, you will apply one of your remaining rolled dice, then set it aside. Dice that are set aside cannot be used again.

Workflow Abilities: These are actions that you can do at any job.

Set aside 1 die: Choose any remaining die and re-roll it.
Set aside 2 dice: Choose any remaining die and change it to any value you choose.

Advance The Hour: Once all dice have been applied, advance the hour track by 1. If the game hasn’t ended, take back all 6 dice and start again.

Game end: Your job ends when you have advanced past the last hour. Check to see how much you are paid, then log it on your Daily Sheet.

Job Notes: "4 3: Lucky Day" should be "4+3: Lucky Day" You will require a roll of a 4 and a 3 and use both dice to complete that action.

ACTION: VISIT YOUR NEIGHBORS

You will start the game with one neighbor on your planet map. You will also have neighbors on the side moons. They will do many things, from Talking and Trading, to giving you Tasks, or sometimes even bad things, depending on your relationship and mood. Your neighbors may emerge once per day, and they will do so at the end of your Move action. At the end of a Move action, if you stop on a space within a neighbor's range (as shown on that neighbor's card - their house is the center space), you must roll to see if they emerge. If the neighbor emerges, your next action must be a Neighbor action.

Roll one die. If the value matches the required value on that space, the neighbor emerges and your next action must be a Visit Neighbor action. If the value doesn't match, then you may take any action on your next turn.

Once you have completed a Neighbor action, place an orange cube onto the neighbor card. This shows that you have visited them today and they will not emerge again.

Neighbor Action - N - 1 Square

Scan the neighbor's QR code and then you will answer a question: Are you friends or not friends/bad mood? If you are in a bad mood (value of 3 or less), you must choose not friends/bad mood, no matter how close you and your neighbor may be.

Then the neighbor will greet you. It might just be a hello, or it might be an offer or request. If the neighbor gives you an item, you may take it if you have space in your pockets (the 3 spaces on your Daily Sheet, you may drop a different item to take theirs in place). If they offer a trade, or you decide to take their base resource trade (as shown on the top of their card, they will always give you one specific resource for two of their favorite resource, then you may immediately take a trade action.

Trade Action - TR - 1 Square

Give your neighbor the item they are requesting, and take the item that they are providing. They will only have one available to trade, unless stated otherwise, but if you take their base resource trade, you can trade as many as you would like in one transaction.

Tasks

Your neighbor may send you on a task, using up to 4 Green Cubes for tracking. This is not a separate action as it will usually require moving around the map, which you would use Move actions to handle. If you are asked to go to a space and clear a cube, you will clear it at the end of a Move action when you arrive in that space. If you are asked to make die rolls in your current space, these may be done immediately after talking to your neighbor, within the same action.

ACTION: HOBBIES

Hobbies are things that your character chooses to do during their days. As with real-life hobbies, there is only time for so many.

Each hobby will be made available for print and play in the Downloads Folder. Feel free to print only the hobbies you are interested in. All of the rules are listed on the print and play sheet, and we will address any rules questions here.

ACTION: GENERATE RESOURCES

You can generate resources depending on the Resource Generator that occurs your planet. To generate resources you must be at that space.

HOLE

Time Cost: Resource generation has a time cost that you must add into your Daily Sheet grid. For each attempt at gaining resources, you must make one square with R inside. This square cannot be in the same row or column as another R.

Components needed: Your Resource Generator card, 1 yellow cube, 2 dice.

Setup: Place the cube above the word start.

How to play: Each turn you will roll one or two dice. Note: once you choose to not roll the second die, you lose it for the remainder of this digging session.

If you roll one die, you must move either left or down in the amount of the number rolled.

If you roll both dice, you must move left and down, using one die for each number rolled.

You cannot move into the pink spaces.

Example: on turn one you roll a 4 and a 3. You can move left 4 spaces (on the top row with the starfield background, then move down 3 spaces, ending in the 3rd column of the row marked 3.

If you cannot move in a direction because the die roll will cause you to hit the pink edge - you lose one die and do not move in that direction.

If you cannot move in either direction both dice roll will cause you to hit a pink edge - you lose both dice and the game ends.

Game end: The game ends when you lose both dice or choose to stop. If you choose to stop before losing both dice, you get the item(s) based on that level. Record all gained resources on your daily sheet. If you lose both dice, you don’t receive any rewards.

Rewards: Depending on which level you stop on, you may gain rewards:

Level 1: Roll a die. If 1-2 gain a worm
Level 2: Roll a die. If 1-3 gain a worm
Level 3: Roll a die. If 1-4 gain a worm
Level 4: 1 worm or 1 rock
Level 5: 2 worms or 1 worm & 1 rock
Level 6: 2 worms or 1 worm & 1 rock or 2 rocks

POND

Components needed: Your Resource Generator card, 3 yellow cubes, 1 die.

Setup: Roll the die and place a cube into the top row of that column, above the top row in the grid.

How to play:
You will take turns trying to hook a fish/coral.

First you will place one or two cubes onto the bottom betting spaces. Each must be placed into its own location.

Then you will roll the die. If the die roll matches the result that you bet on, then move the fishing cube down the number of spaces shown on each successful bet. For any unsuccessful bets, remove the betting cube from the game.

Betting Options:
Even = Even number roll
Odd = Odd number roll
1-2 = Roll of 1 or 2
3-4 = Roll of 3 or 4
5-6 = Roll of 5 or 6
Same = Before your roll, choose a number from 1-6. You are trying to match the number chosen.

Note: You cannot move past the bottom space in the grid. If you reach the bottom during any movement, stop.

Game end:
The game ends when you choose to stop or if you lose both betting cubes.

On any turn, you may stop before rolling the die and take the reward that the cube is covering. That ends the session.

If both betting cubes are removed from the game, you do not gain any resources.

Rewards:
Record all gained resources on your daily sheet.

TREE

Components needed: Your Resource Generator card, 3 yellow cubes, 3 dice.

Setup: Roll 3 dice and place the 3 cubes into the top row of those columns. If you roll more than one of the same number, place the additional cube beneath the current one(s), in the next row down. Set one die aside as it will not be used again.

How to play:
You will take three turns shaking the tree.

To shake the tree you will roll two dice.
Choose one die to be the column and the other die to be how many spaces that the cube drops down.

You receive one resource for each cube that goes past the bottom. You’ll receive one cube of the type that that column provides.

Game end:
The game ends after three shakes. Record all gained resources on your daily sheet.

Rewards:
Depending on which column(s) your cube(s) went past the bottom, you will gain rewards:

Column 1: 1 Fruit
Column 2: 1 Fruit
Column 3: 1 Fruit
Column 4: 1 Fruit
Column 5: 1 Wood
Column 6: 1 Wood

To see a second exhibit/animal, you will repeat the above, taking a Z action, paying your entry fee, and scanning the QR code and visiting a location.
Log	New entry.

UPKEEP

After you've done your action, you need to handle your upkeep.

If your action caused a row or column of your Time Grid to be completed, you must drop your Energy die value down by 1. If you complete both a row and column at the same time, you must drop it down by 2.

After every turn, you must adjust your mood by +1, 0, or -1 based on how the turn effected your mood. Mood is a subjective value that will go up and down throughout the day based on the things you do. If something makes you (or your character) feel good, raise it by 1. If it makes you feel bad, drop it by 1. If nothing changes, then leave it where it is. Remember, your mood is an ever changing value that will bring out your character traits. If your character has a mood of 4 or higher, then they will take on the character trait shown by the smiley face. If the mood is 3 or below, they will take on the character trait shown on the frowney face.

LOG ENTRY

The log is a turn by turn written log of what you did each turn. It can be simple - the Letter Code of the action that you took, with the word of that action written next to it. (Example: M Moved) Or it can be a full on journal style line explaining it in full detail. Well, as much detail as you can get into one line. (Example: M Moved to my job. About to start another work day. Yay.)

Actions each take one line, but occasionally there are subactions. These happen during a different action and would therefore use the same line. An example of a subaction is to explore while walking. Explore doesn’t have a new Letter Code, it’s simply something you can do while moving. In that case you might write (M Moved and Explored) or (M Moved and Explored. I’ve looked everywhere today and found nothing.)

The level of detail is up to you. The only requirement is to fill in the square for each row in the log. If the game doesn’t end before this, the game ends at the end of a turn where you’ve filled in the 18th log entry.

YOUR HOME

The house sheet replaces the treasures card. When you are able to print the house (or use it digitally), you will move into your new home. Unlike the treasures card, this home sheet (and storage sheet) has many new features.

-Different rooms for all of your items
-Potential for additional storage
-Lots of room for customization
-A place for new hobbies
-And much more to come!

With these new features comes a new cost. As a homeowner you must pay to maintain your home.
Daily cost:
1 building resource per day (as a subaction, without any grid cost)
-OR-
5 individual Volunteer (V) [1 Sq] actions
The above is a new rule and must be paid each time you play. We added a new box to the daily sheet to help you make sure you remembered to pay your daily cost.

How to setup your house:
The house consists of two sheets, the Home sheet and Storage Sheet. Both of these will be where your complete inventory is stored.
First, transfer every item on your Treasures card onto the home sheet. Each item will take up one slot unless stated otherwise. Duplicate items may take up the same slot with some exceptions. When listing a duplicate item try the following formatting: Coffee (3).

Each slot corresponds to a location in the house or yard. Rooms are indoor locations anywhere from 4-8 squares, so you can arrange them as you like. Yards are outdoor locations at 3 squares each.

Then, trash your treasures card. It’s no longer needed!

Companions - They will each need a slot in your home as well. Remember the backyard and frontyard are also available slots.

Carried items - When you carry an item that’s in your house, it will maintain the slot in your house. Just because you are carrying it, doesn’t mean you will remove it from the Home Sheet.

Newly purchased items - When you choose to take a Transfer action during the game or when you complete your game for the day, make sure any newly obtained items are added to your Home Sheet.

Dropping / using up an item - If you are forced to drop an item (because your personal belongings inventory is full) - or if you use up an item (food for example), you will remove it from both your personal belongings list on your daily sheet and your home sheet.

Decor - Decor items will have a number of slots on them, showing how much space they take up in your house. These slots must be adjacent, sometimes specific shapes and they must be in the same room.

Storage Units:
Storage units are ways to cram more stuff into your house. Each will list the number of items they hold (in multiples of 6) and the type of item they hold. Place a storage unit into a slot in your house then write down that slot on your Storage sheet. You may now fill up your storage unit with the specific type of items that it requires, in order to save some space in your house.

SIDE MOONS

Side Moons are only in orbit during their window of time each day, so you may only visit a moon with an orbit of 12:00-1:00 during the hours of 12:00-1:00AM/PM each day. Remember, this is based on your start time that you listed on your daily sheet, so you will only be able to visit one side moon per game, no matter how long your game session goes.

When you receive your Side Moon, you will set it up in the same way that you setup the main game. You will roll for location for the Rocket Launcher, Popular Attraction, Local Cuisine, and Neighbor's House.

To travel to a side moon you will need to move to a Rocket Launcher location and use the Rocket Launcher action.
