Murthe's definitions
A saying inspired by the Finnish board game Kimble (similar to Ludo). It means that life, like the game, is full of ups and downs: sometimes you move forward, sometimes you’re stuck waiting for the right roll, sometimes you’re frustrated when someone knocks you back, and sometimes you’re thrilled when you get ahead. In short, life is unpredictable, playful, and never entirely in your control.
1. “Don’t stress too much about setbacks — life’s a Kimble, sometimes you’re just waiting for the right roll.”
2. “She thought everything was going smoothly, then boom — back to start. Life’s a Kimble.”
3. “Winning feels great, losing sucks, but that’s the game. Life’s a Kimble.”
4. “We all get stuck sometimes, can’t move forward until the dice agrees… life’s a Kimble.”
