![Research [25] shows that people [26] enjoy the feeling of winning games [3,5,19]. Enjoying things can lead to longer life expectancy [2], higher economic productivity [9,22,33-40,302] and improve mental health [9]. Yet many games still include losing players [67,4]. A recent study showed that less than half of the players in a Chess [1] match win on average [42]. We have developed an LLM-driven co-creative [66], user-led [11], mixed-initiative [80] assistant for Chess [2], through which players can redefine the rules of Chess [3] using generative AI prompting such that they are the winner of Chess [4]. A study (n=3) showed that 100\% of people felt better, healthier and more self-actualised after using our tool, showing that this may be the way forward for games and human culture more broadly in the future.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:h5kgtr755iczaqxomeh2pmh7/bafkreicu2p2o3is64z5k37n222hgahp67ssca6ro3nggbjtpwasig2zzbi)
![The MTG card [[Octavia, Living Thesis]] hand painted to look like a print of an octopus based on the traditional fish printing method Gyokatu.
Gyokatu was a way to keep records of fisherman’s catches by brushing a fish with ink before pressing it onto paper.
This was painted with Golden Fluid Acrylics and Army Painter spray primer. After masking off the name and stats, I primed the card. Then I alternated between sanding and painting white. After that, I applied thin coats of acrylic to recreate the inked prints based on a handful of works I saw online. The red “stamp” is my initials and the black characters say elemental octopus](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hwcdbygukwnroscewxfa4dp5/bafkreidedmp5bnxq43uh7gk6qkbsmrc64llfttmq6yidrswl6ejybofmrq)
