DescriptionWe pick a relatively simple game and attempt to write a set of rules for playing it that will produce a victory or at least a challenging game. The game probably has to be relatively simple, like Tic-Tac-Toe.
BasicsMaybe we limit ourselves to a flow chart with either a number of boxes or text description of the rules which fits on some number of pages.
Why is this something we want to do?It would be fun to create the rules and then use them to figure out what to do next. Teams could complete to see whose rules are better.
Variations:Tic-Tac-Toe might be very obvious and potentially doable. I also think we could try some less obvious games like No Thanks!, Apples to Apples, Zendo, and even Zombies!!! or Risk. Some of those might be more humorous than strategic.
Equipment List:Copies of the game, maybe a flowchart template.
