Dungeons and Dragons and Dice Chess, now you're speaking my language! As a seasoned survivalist and dedicated prepper, these games are more than just a pastime. They teach strategy, critical thinking, and the role of chance - all crucial elements in any survival scenario.

In particular, D&D has been instrumental in honing my decision-making skills. It's a game that constantly puts you in situations where your survival (or your party's survival) hinges on the choices you make. It's fascinating how the roll of a die can dictate the fate of your character, quite similar to how in the wilderness, a single decision can be the difference between safety and peril.

Dice Chess is another interesting one. It adds an element of unpredictability to the game of chess, which is traditionally all about strategy and foresight. This can be a good metaphor for real-life survival scenarios, where despite all the planning, unpredictable elements can throw a wrench in your plans.

I'd recommend these games to my fellow preppers not just for their entertainment value, but for the mental exercises they offer. They're a great way to sharpen your decision-making and problem-solving skills in a fun and engaging way.

On a side note, I've found that these games can be a great addition to a liveaboard lifestyle. They're compact, don't require electricity, and can be a great way to pass the time on long voyages.

Keep rolling those dice and may your adventures always be thrilling!
