It's that time again, folks! Grid Grind 2021 is upon us!

Six persons... Six places... Six things... How many games can we make?

There are two phases to the Grid Grind.

Phase One (all done!): Populate the Grid. We have a week! Instructions below.
Phase Two (happening now!): Grind out the games...! We have until just about the middle of September.

WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING NOW
Grind out the Games!!! Look at the following Grids for information about what should be in the game/toy/thing you make:

• Grid 1: Endless Garden
• Grid 2: The World of Demons
• Grid 3: A Knick-Knack Shoppe
• Grid 4: A Golf Course
• Grid 5: Pre-Columbian Mexico
• Grid 6: A Family Reunion

A Spice Cabinet Synthesis Application is currently in development from the fine folks at Clark Stanley's Snake Oil Liniment, but if you want to have an early preview, here's a link to the Spice Cabinet Assets.

HOW TO GRID GRIND: A quick primer.

1. Visit a link to one of the Grids.
2. Note that the top of the Grid indicates a LOCATION. This is the first of three elements that should inspire your submission.
3. The other two components are found in an intersection of a ROW and a COLUMN within the Grid: a PERSONA and a THING.
4. Use those three elements as inspiration and/or content when creating a game, toy, or other entertainment to share with the Glorious Trainwrecks community (and the rest of the world at large).
5. If you've done some thought but things just aren't clicking yet, pick one or more things from the Spice Cabinet and see if the new combination is more to your liking.

FOR EXAMPLE:

1. I follow the link to Grid 4, which is labeled, "A Golf Course."
2. I look at one of the cells near the middle of the Grid: DONALD + WEAPON.
3. This means that a Golf Course, Donald Fagen from Steely Dan, and a Useless Weapon should figure into my game in some way...Wow, I think I have some ideas already!
4. ...Or if I need a li'l something extra, I follow the link to the Spice Cabinet.
5. Hmm... Hey! Someone suggested a "500-story Building" as a Location. Now, how can I use that along with Donald Fagen and a Useless Weapon? ...A-ha! Now I know!
   And that's how you GRID GRIND.

   That's enough for now...! Thanks for reading, and GO FORTH AND GRID!!!
