Thunder & Lightning

Bouncing back

Every game kills you, beats you or sends you back to the start. Hitting continue instead of the off switch is the rep, and you have done thousands.

Deep focus

The room goes quiet and an hour vanishes. That is your attention locking onto one thing, which is rarer than it sounds and worth plenty at work and across a dinner table.

Pattern recognition

Every game is a set of rules nobody told you. You work them out by watching what happens, the same trick behind reading a room, a boss or a date.
