The Unplayed Game

Have they found a game?

The Unplayed Game

Archaeologists find a board, pieces and a book of rules. The rules are clear, but there is no sign that anyone ever played.

Have they found a game?

Then ask

  • Can rules alone make a game?
  • What changes the first time someone plays it?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
