[文章]野蠻遊戲大揭秘2:桌遊你玩多啲啦🤭
🎭 深度剖析:桌遊主辦者的潛在心理操作(第3至4)
3. 利用遊戲作為情緒操控工具
以娛樂為名,精密安排他人情緒反應的即場實驗。
有些主辦者在挑選遊戲時,並不單純以「好玩」作標準,而是偏好選擇那些能激發情緒波動的遊戲——例如高張力的狼人殺、背叛型遊戲如《The Resistance》、甚至是令人沮喪的合作失敗遊戲。這些遊戲的共同點,是它們會在短時間內觸發玩家的信任危機、憤怒、焦慮、挫敗與羞恥。
潛在動機可能包括:
- 觀察他人情緒反應,從中獲得主控感;
- 在群體中製造戲劇性,以鞏固自己作為「調控者」的地位;
- 挑戰玩家心理底線,測試誰能「撐得住場」。
在這樣的設定中,主辦者其實像一位*情緒導演*,而其他人則成為角色。當玩家因遊戲而產生情緒崩潰、爭執或羞辱時,主辦者可能表面上「和事佬」,但實則旁觀整個過程,甚至在內心中記錄每個人的「心理弱點」。
👁️ *貼地提醒*:你以為你喺玩遊戲,但其實你嘅反應可能已經被人默默記低。
---
4. 在勝負之間引導人際結構重組
操控座位與分組,就是重寫你和誰親近的方式。
主辦者通常擁有「安排誰坐邊、和誰一組」的控制權。這些看似無害的決定,其實可能逐步塑造出人際結構的微妙變化。主辦者透過這種「排兵佈陣」的方式:
- 讓某些人更頻繁地合作,從而建立默契或依附;
- 故意安排潛在對立者對抗,觀察衝突發展;
- 排除特定人選於核心圈層之外,使其邊緣化;
- 測試誰在不同組合中「聽話」、「能撐場」、「容易崩潰」。
這種操作不一定出於惡意,但當主辦者無意識地以關係操盤為樂,或當這種安排開始對參與者的真實社交產生影響時,它就變成一種高度隱性的人際干預。
👁️ *貼地提醒*:你以為你贏咗場遊戲,但可能係你被分配咗一個角色。
野蠻遊戲1 桌遊背後奴隸關係
🎭 [“善”事揭露]桌遊活動主辦者的潛意識動機與可能影響(心理剖析)
今期和大家談談桌遊。此活動看似輕鬆娛樂、社交促進,但在某些情況下,主辦者的動機可能並不如表面所見那麼單純。這次和大家逐一探索揭秘。
從心理操控、社會動力、角色投射等角度來看,這些活動有時成為一種「非正式權力場域」,主導者在其中不知不覺地建構了一個可操控的微型社會。
以下是一些潛藏心理現象與可能造成的影響:
1. 權力感投射:在遊戲中扮演上帝角色
主辦者能決定玩什麼、誰參加、怎樣開始和結束,在無形中建立起一種「控制秩序」的快感。遊戲規則就像法律,而主持就是法官、立法者和執行者的三合一。
👁️ 心理暗示:以遊戲為名,行規訓之實。
---
2. 透過社交篩選建立「圈內人」制度
部分主辦者會有意無意地建立一種「我們 vs 他們」的結構,讓新手感到疏離,老玩家形成權力核心。這種微結構可強化主辦者的地位,因為人們會依賴他來「入圈」。
👁️ 心理暗示:將社交變成邀請制,讓人為被接納而妥協。
待續,慢慢到戲肉不用急🤭

活動內容簡介
森林浴的概念是鼓勵人們以身心靈放鬆和沉浸的方式,感受和接觸自然。
透過慢步、呼吸、觀察和五感體驗感知森林的聲音、光線、味道和質感等,來促進健康、增強幸福感和減少壓力。而森林本身亦擁有美好物質,例如芬多精 對人體免疫系統神學系統有正面幫助。
ANFT 的森林浴並非只是單純的散步,而是一種深入的自然療法實踐。導師會引導參與者進行一系列的感官活化活動,如深度聆聽、呼吸、靜觀、慢遊、品茶和分享等。透過這個過程,參與者能更加深地連結自然,從而達到身心的治愈與恢復。
此外,ANFT 的森林浴也著重於社群的互動與連結。它認為,在大自然的環境下分享經驗和情感,能夠增進人與人之間的關係,並在集體層面上創造更深的社區聯繫。
所以總括而言 森林浴是一場連接自己感受、享受與身邊朋友分享聆聽、重新與大自然萬物接觸相處既旅程同時放慢節奏前行亦不帶任何宗教信仰背景 適合不同年齡背景朋友參與

Listen to nature and share with those around you
It's also a time to be with your inner self

Overview
Forest bathing is a concept that encourages people to feel and connect with nature by relaxing and immersing themselves physically, mentally, and spiritually.
By walking slowly, breathing, observing, and using the five senses to perceive the sounds, light, taste, and textures of the forest, it promotes health, enhances well-being, and reduces stress. The forest itself possesses wonderful substances, such as phytoncides, which positively benefit the human immune and neurological systems.
ANFT's forest bathing is not just simple strolling, but a deep natural therapy practice. The guide will lead participants through a series of sensory activation activities, such as deep listening, breathing, mindfulness, slow movements, tea tasting, and sharing. Through this process, participants can connect with nature more deeply, achieving healing and recovery of body and mind.
Additionally, ANFT's forest bathing emphasizes community interaction and connection. It believes that sharing experiences and emotions in a natural environment can enhance relationships between people and create deeper community bonds on a collective level.
In summary, forest bathing is a journey to connect with your feelings, enjoy and share with friends around you, and re-engage with the myriad elements of nature. It is a journey to slow down without any religious background, suitable for friends of different ages and backgrounds to participate.

Wild Ones: Annual Native Seed Swap
January 10, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Join Wild Ones Columbus for their annual native seeds swap. If you have native seeds to share, please label them with the Latin name and common name. The seeds don’t need to be removed from the seed head if you aren’t sure how to do it, but remove as much stem as possible.
Bringing seeds is not required. Bring bags or envelopes to store seeds.
Inniswood Metro Gardens
940 S. Hempstead Rd.
Westerville, OH 43081
Phone (614)895-6216
This event will be held in the Greenhouse/Multipurpose Building located near the east end of the parking lot. Click here to see the Inniswood map.
If you have native seeds to share, label each species with this information:
* Botanical Name
* Common Name
Species we will accept:
* Species native to our ecoregion (8.2.4) - Best
* Species native to Ohio and surrounding states - Good
* Straight species only - no cultivars.
The seeds don’t need to be removed from the seed head if you aren’t sure how to do it, but don’t leave much stem on the seed heads.
Please email the list of species to Mary May so we can prepare information for attendees. You can bring the seeds on the day of the swap, or we can arrange to have them picked up beforehand - just let her know in the email.
If you don’t have any seeds to bring, no worries. If you are new to native plants or didn't have time to collect seeds, there are ALWAYS plenty from those that do bring them! We love to see "newbies" at our seed exchange! Also, remember to bring something to put seeds in such as envelopes, paper bags or containers.

Trails & Ales! Blacklick Woods Metro Park / Prost Beer & Wine Café
**History**
[Blacklick Woods Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/blacklick-woods/), established in 1949, holds the distinction of being the first Columbus Metro Park. Its creation stemmed from a post-World War II push to preserve natural areas amid rapid suburban growth. The land, originally farmland and woodlots along Blacklick Creek, was acquired by the Columbus Metropolitan Park Board through donations and purchases. Early efforts focused on basic trail development and reforestation to combat erosion. The park's name derives from the creek, which early settlers called "Black Lick" due to its dark, mineral-rich waters. By the 1950s, it served as a model for the expanding Metro Parks system.
In the 1960s, Blacklick Woods expanded significantly with additional land acquisitions, reaching over 600 acres. A golf course was added in 1964, one of the first public courses in the region, designed to generate revenue for park maintenance. Native American artifacts, including arrowheads from the Adena culture, were discovered during construction, highlighting the area's prehistoric use as hunting grounds. The park introduced interpretive programs to educate visitors on local ecology and history. Flood control measures along the creek became a priority after heavy rains caused damage. These developments solidified its role as a recreational hub.
The 1970s and 1980s brought environmental awareness, leading to habitat restoration projects at Blacklick Woods. Invasive species were removed, and native wildflowers were planted in the meadows. A nature center opened in 1976, featuring exhibits on wetlands and forests. The park's slate-covered bridge, a remnant of 19th-century infrastructure, was preserved as a historic feature. Birdwatching gained popularity with the addition of observation decks. Community volunteers played a key role in trail maintenance and cleanups.
During the 1990s, Blacklick Woods underwent major upgrades, including paved multi-use trails for biking and hiking. The Walter A. Tucker Nature Preserve, a 53-acre old-growth forest within the park, was dedicated in 1995 to protect rare beech-maple woodlands. Educational partnerships with local schools introduced field trips on topics like stream ecology. The golf course was renovated to improve playability while minimizing environmental impact. Annual events, such as the fall festival, drew thousands to celebrate the park's natural beauty. These enhancements balanced recreation with conservation.
In the 21st century, Blacklick Woods has adapted to increasing visitation with sustainable practices. Solar panels were installed at facilities in the 2010s to reduce energy costs. The park now spans 643 acres, offering diverse habitats from wetlands to uplands. Recent initiatives include pollinator gardens and prescribed burns to maintain prairie areas. It remains a flagship for the Metro Parks, inspiring similar preservations system-wide. Ongoing archaeological surveys continue to uncover traces of early inhabitants.
**Map of the Park**
Here is a [map of Blacklick Woods](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/BLK-map-May-2025-with-extended-greenway_1980px.jpg).
**Summary**
For this event, we will hike about 4.5 miles by doing a couple loops of the Buttonbush, Tucker, Maple Loop, and Beech trails. Blacklick Woods is a very nice park, but it is generally flat and not strenuous, so this will be one of the easier hikes that we do.
**Where We'll Meet**
Drive all the way to the back of the park to the parking lot that is nearest the Nature Center. There are restrooms here next to the Canopy Walk. We'll meet near these restrooms.
Speaking of the [Canopy Walk](https://www.metroparks.net/blog/canopy-walk-is-your-gateway-to-the-sky/), it's not officially part of the event this time. However, if interested people want to freelance and check it out after the hike (before heading to the brewery), that's okay.
**After the Hike**
After we're done with the trails, we'll head to [Prost Beer & Wine Café](https://prostcafe.com/) for drinks and [food](https://prostcafe.com/reynoldsburg-prost-beer-and-wine-cafe-food-menu). The actual address of the brewery is [7354 E Main St, Reynoldsburg, OH 43068](https://www.google.com/maps/place/7354+E+Main+St,+Reynoldsburg,+OH+43068/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x8838648cfb8d2dbb:0x545274bab130e9bb?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111), and we should be there by 5:00 if you just want to do that and skip the hike.
