Goal

Make a total of 33 poems and sayings, each a verse in your epic work.
Basic play

You may encounter any of the four icons directly adjacent to the center. Click on an icon to encounter it. Afterwards, the grid will shift in the opposite direction, bringing a new set of icons into play on that side.

To make poems and sayings, first collect inspiration. You trade inspiration in for wisdom and knowledge, which increase your chances of being successful at making a poem or saying. Balanced wisdom and knowledge give you the best chance. If either one is higher, that extra counts as 1/5. You also need inspiration to trade in for an attempt at making a poem or saying.

Boredom and irritation make it harder to make poems and sayings, so keep those low, or remember to reduce them.

The more poems you have made, the easier it is to make a new poem.
The more sayings you have made, the harder it is to make a new saying.

Tips

Remember what each encounter does, especially ones that are critical, such as where to try and make poems, and so forth.

Changes per turn: The column to the right of the column which shows your current statistics shows how much each statistic has changed on the current turn. If it is blank, then it hasn't changed.
