This plant is known as Seedbox (Ludwigia alternifolia). “They’re very small—only about 1/4 inch in diameter, but with the appearance of fine woodwork. I think that’s part of their attraction for me.

“You don’t have to have rules or goals or a board or even anything to play with except each other. But whatever it is that you’re playing, there are two things you have to take seriously: being together, and the sheer fun of it all. No game is more important than the experience of being together, being joined, being equal - governed by the same rules, playing for the same purpose. And no purpose is more uniting and freeing than the purpose of being fun with each other.” —quote by Bernie DeKoven, game designer, author, and fun theorist
