Objective:

The Symbolic Dice Oracle is a divination game that combines elements of chance and interpretation.

The goal is to gain insights or guidance by rolling two 12-sided dice, each marked with unique symbols.

Each symbol corresponds to a specific phrase, and the combination of two phrases from the dice roll

creates a meaningful message that the player must interpret.

Components:

– Two 12-Sided Dice: Each die has 12 faces, with each face displaying a unique symbol.

– Phrase Booklet: A guidebook or reference sheet that lists the 12 symbols on each die along with their

corresponding phrases.

Sleepless Empire paper mat included.

Setup:

1. Ensure that mat, both dice and the phrase booklet are readily available.

2. The player should be in a quiet environment where they can focus on the symbols and their meanings.

How to Play:

1. Roll the Dice: The player rolls both 12-sided dice simultaneously.

If “reset-restart” appears, roll the dice again

2. Identify the Symbols: After rolling, the player identifies the symbols on the top face of each die.

3. Match the Symbols to Phrases: Using the phrase booklet, the player locates the phrases corresponding to the symbols displayed

on the top faces of the dice.   

– For example, if one die shows the symbol for “Oxygen” and the other shows “Sleep paralysis,”

the player would find and note down the phrases associated with these two symbols.

4. Interpret the Message:The player then combines the two phrases to form a coherent message or reading.

The phrases should be considered in the context of each other, allowing the player to derive a meaningful interpretation.

   – The interpretation can be open-ended and is influenced by the player’s intuition and current situation.

Example:

– Symbols Rolled:Die 1 shows a “Oxygen” symbol, and Die 2 shows a “Sleep paralysis” symbol.

– Phrases from the Booklet:

   – “Oxygen” symbolizes “Start something new”

   – “Sleep paralysis” symbolizes “face the unknown without fear”

– Combined Interpretation: The player might interpret the combination as a message about the importance of facing

unpleasant events while embracing what the future holds.

Optional Variations:

– Guided Readings: Players can use a specific question or situation as a focus when rolling the dice,

guiding the interpretation of the phrases.

– Group Play:I n a group setting, one person rolls the dice, and others in the group can

contribute to the interpretation, offering different perspectives on the combined phrases.

Winning Conditions:

There is no “winning” in the traditional sense, as the game is designed for introspection

and guidance rather than competition.

The success of the game lies in the player’s ability to derive meaningful insights from the dice rolls.

Conclusion:

The Symbolic Dice Oracle is a tool for self-reflection and insight, where the combination of symbolic

phrases helps guide the player through their questions or situations.

Players are encouraged to trust their intuition and embrace the open-ended nature of the game.
