[Edu] we played my new game

[Magi D. Shepley]

I've used a device called an 'all-turn it' spinner... and you could 
actually place a card on the spinner, hit a switch, and there you go...  
but I don't expect that anybody here will be doing that anytime soon.

(i.e. paint three faces green for character, one pinkish-orange for problem, one yellow for resolution, and one purple for action)  Blank dice are usually larger than standard, too, and in my experience kids like bigger dice. :)
