    A six lets you enter at Birth and move to square 6, Delusion. The square gives you a theme to explore.

  3. Ananta · excerpt from an AI reply

    And here is my question: which expectation about how you should spend your time is hardest for you to reconsider, and what does holding onto it give you?

Questions about the game

A board, a question and a conversation. Here is what to expect.

About Leela
Do I need to know the rules?

No. The game handles the moves, snakes and arrows. The rules page explains how to enter the board and what happens near the final squares.

What does the AI guide do?

The guide explains the square, asks questions and responds to what you share. Its interpretation is a starting point for reflection. You decide what is useful to you.

Is Leela Guide free, and do I need an account?

Leela Guide is a free, non-commercial personal project. There are no paid plans, ads or donations. You can start without an account. After ten AI replies, register for a free account to continue the conversation.

Can I play in my browser, in English or Ukrainian?

Yes. Open the game on your phone or computer, choose English or Ukrainian, and select an AI guide. There is no app to install.

How does this differ from playing with a human facilitator?

Here you play at your own pace and talk with an AI character. A human facilitator brings their own experience and can ask questions in a live conversation. Leela Guide does not provide or book human-led sessions. The AI only has the information you share and may misread your situation.
