Mind Games will explore how tabletop gaming can be used as a tool to help those struggling with mental health issues, such as depression, trauma and anxiety. I plan to execute this through a zine, a smaller, more condensed form of magazine, popularized during the 1930s for science fiction fan writers and then resurrected during the punk rock scene of the 1970s.

As humans, we have a need to make connections and communicate with others. How you look and who you identify with is a vital portion of how you communicate and part of the reason we subscribe to the social constructs of race and ethnicity.
