Sitting Shiva

A Free-form style game about mourning, family, connection, silence and Jewish traditions.

Long Description

Sitting Shiva is a game about mourning, family, connection, and silence. In Jewish tradition, when someone dies, the members of their immediate family sit shiva for them. During this weeklong period, the family members sit on the ground or in low seating, go barefoot, wear torn shirts or torn ribbons pinned over their hearts, and are not expected to perform basic tasks. Other family and friends will come visit, bring them food and be present for the mourners.
