Playing with dreams
Nov. 21st, 2004 09:48 amSo this game is probably only a mental construct, but I have had two dreams about it now so I thought I'd post and see if it jogged anyone else's memory. We may have to write it, instead...
Just woke up from a second dream in two weeks or so about playing a very complicated game regarding mind-control or rules-lawyering. Essentially the idea seemed to be that you could do things to/cause other players to follow orders based on what they DIDN'T exclude you from saying you could do to them. The idea was to exert the most control over the other players, though I'm a little hazy on game-winning conditions.
There may have been a board, there may not. It may have involved cards or dice, but it definitely involved sheafs of paper by the end to keep everything straight. I dreamed that my uncle RR was there the first game, but that may just have been because he IS a lawyer, and it would be fun. This iteration definitely involved
teross50 leading
biscuitgod into the building, with the former guiding the way for the latter, who was turned around and walking backwards. You can imagine the sort of terror that inspired (for the record,
teross50 is legally blind), and may have been what woke me up.
It's not the SW game we played on Games Night. It's not Illuminati or KURS, although it's definitely got a Calvin-ball aspect to the rules because people change them so frequently. I'm less and less certain that it's a real game now that I'm awake and writing this, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.
