I spent years looking for the one right answer.

As a kid, I would lie in the grass and watch the clouds roll by, delighted by a dragon or a frog I saw in those billowy shapes.

Then I became a lawyer. I felt the pressure to be perfect and productive, and every hour had to be billed and justified. Play went by the wayside. Eventually, my mental health did too.

Years later, Wabi Blobi began around a table with two friends. We painted watercolor blobs, passed them around, and drew whatever we saw. It was freeing, tactile, deeply human—and ridiculously fun.

No pressure to be productive. No screens. Just three friends making each other laugh. Those first blobs became a handmade deck, then playtests, and eventually Wabi Blobi—a game about seeing things differently.
