- Its paper predecessor, FairPlay, used real local places and rules such as waiting a turn at the skate park.
Field notes
The site’s account names FairPlay as an earlier board game, combining “Fairfax” and “Play.” Its rules used real places and concrete actions: pay at a farmers market, earn money for playing in a band, or wait a turn at the skate park. Lisa says her father’s AI tools helped build and revise the digital game; the homepage does not detail the technical setup.
