BEYOND THE GAME BOARD
Meet Nova & Pip.
Nova collects questions the way other people collect postcards. A strange mark on a map is an invitation, a wrong turn is a useful note, and a new path is best shared with a friend.

A blocked move does not cost you progress. Think out loud, try a route and use undo.
The next beacon is numbered: you never have to distinguish it by colour alone.
