Questions and answers
Everything that comes up before a purchase, in the order it usually comes up. If your question is not here, write — it will be answered by a person, not a template.
The game
A transformational board game for two to six players, running about three hours. The board is a circle split into a money hemisphere and a desire hemisphere, with six sectors and nine decks of cards. Players earn and lose two in-game currencies while answering questions about what they let themselves want and what they let themselves earn.
It is a game about permission. Half the board is desire and half is money, and the method's claim is that a single internal rule governs both: what you are ashamed to want, you will not let yourself receive. Nothing is undressed and nobody is touched — the players talk, roll, pay and collect.
No, and it is not sold as therapy. It is a structured group session with printed questions and a facilitator who keeps the frame. People often leave with something they had not said out loud before, but nobody is diagnosed, treated or given advice about their health.
Yes to both. The set includes a men's deck, and mixed tables work — with the caveat that a mixed table needs a firmer hand on the frame. How to hold one is part of the facilitator training.
[A digital board — the Miro version — is planned. Confirm whether it exists today, whether it is included with a set, and what it costs.]
Sitting down to play
You answer what you choose to answer. The questions come up by chance rather than by anyone's choice, which is what makes the table safe: nobody is being singled out. Passing on a card is allowed and costs you nothing except the turn.
No. Sessions are not filmed, participants are not named, and what is said at the table stays there. That is the condition under which people tell the truth. Any story published afterwards is anonymised and used only with written permission.
Write through the contact page or straight to Olga on Telegram, and you will be told the next available date — online or in person.
[Once several facilitators are certified in the EU, this answer should point to a calendar of public games instead.]
Leading the game
No. The method carries the session: the questions are printed, the order is fixed, and your job is to ask and then stay quiet. What you do need is experience holding a group — the game opens people quickly, and somebody has to be steady in the room.
All three include the complete printed set, the right to run the game commercially, the certificate and the marketing kit. €800 adds the method in writing, €1000 adds the video course voiced in your language, and €1200 adds three live lessons with Olga of three hours each.
No. You buy the set once and keep every fee you charge. There is no royalty on a table, no monthly membership, and no reporting of what you earn.
At €80 a seat — an ordinary price for a three-hour group session in most of Europe — a full table of six brings in €480, so the set is covered by your second or third game. In Ukraine, where the game has been running longer at local prices, facilitators pay it off in about four.
A trial game rather than an exam. You run one full session, online or in person, and it is reviewed before your certificate is issued — so that your first paid table is not also your first table.
The manual and the video course come in your language, voiced rather than subtitled. The three live lessons in the €1200 option are held in Russian, because they are live and Olga teaches them herself. If you do not speak Russian, the €1000 option gives you the same method in your own language.
Your first table comes from people who already know you, and it is usually smaller than six. What you are given is the launch plan the game itself was promoted with: a four-week calendar, five ready video scripts, the content themes with their proportions, the two posts that sell hardest, the wordings that get past platform moderation, and the invitation and consent texts.
The set, languages and delivery
The printed board, nine decks of 280 cards, player workbooks with reprint rights, A5 note cards, 800 game banknotes in two currencies, dice, tokens, pouches, the rulebook, the Treasury card, certificates for your participants with stamp and wax, your own facilitator certificate, and the box itself.
Yours. Nothing is printed until there is a buyer, so the set is produced in the language you name. English, Russian and Ukrainian are ready now; any other language is translated first, which adds about a week before printing.
No customs at all: printing and dispatch happen inside the EU, from Hamburg, so the parcel never crosses an external border. Delivery is included in the price.
Fourteen days from payment for an English set, twenty when a new language has to be translated first, and ten days within Ukraine.
[Payment methods and whether instalments are possible — bank transfer, two payments, or both. Needed before launch.]
[EU consumer law gives 14 days of withdrawal on distance sales, with specific exceptions for made-to-order goods and for digital content already accessed. Since every set is printed to order, this answer and the terms page must be written with a lawyer before launch.]
[Ukraine is covered — ten days. Confirm whether orders from the UK, Switzerland, the US or elsewhere are accepted, and at what price, since the quoted prices include EU delivery only.]
