Boredom is something that I personally find more obnoxious than anything else in game. Admittedly it's not a huge problem if you're constantly fighting zombies and getting panicked, or if you're privy to consuming books constantly. For example: I'll be laughing hanging around my group of 4 and mysteriously my character becomes bored, or I'll just take a minute break after almost being consumed by an entire horde and I'll see the cursed Moodle. The best way to get around this weird boredom problem is to make some additions or tweaks to entertainment. My proposed solution is just allow us to entertain ourselves more than Magazines and Books. Occasionally there are checkers around named "Game Pieces" items like this should be able to be used. Maybe we can find a board and play some checkers with a teammate? Or even a round by yourself, (could be less rewarding if you play yourself) Musical instruments are also present around the map, so maybe we could strum a guitar a few times to eliminate our boredom? Maybe blow into a saxophone and sooth the zombies with some sexy jazz. Rimworld also comes to mind during this nitpicky suggestion, we can make a horseshoe pole and play it for a reduction to boredom; at the cost of finding a magazine or an already built pole. Maybe we could have some more objects like this in game. A few games come to mind, Hop scotch if you find some chalk, That weird sport with a ball on a pole you could do with some minor metalworking skills and even skipping rocks across a pond for some childlike fun (Could even give you more entertainment the better your aiming skill!) . In general boredom is something that is just an annoyance, there could be some more ways to ward it off.
