Do they do this in your area? It's huge around here...ask your teenage kids......Lol




Though The Game is very simple, it can be difficult to comprehend initially. A new player usually has to lose The Game once or twice to fully understand it.

Rules
1) When you think of The Game, you lose The Game.
2) When you lose The Game, you announce it to those around you.

Those are the only two rules of The Game.

Game play
The first thing a new player needs to know is that when someone loses The Game (i.e. when someone thinks about The Game), game play temporarily stops for that person and for those around that person (since he must announce his game-loss aloud). The Game then restarts on a person-by-person basis when each person stops thinking about The Game. The Game never actually ends permanently.

No one wins!
No one can ever technically win The Game. It could be argued that when one is not losing The Game (i.e. when someone is not thinking about The Game), they are winning The Game, but it still holds true that no one can ever definitively win The Game.

You probably still don't understand The Game and how to play, so consider the example below.

Example
You have just learned the rules of The Game and how to play. Because you now know this, you are playing The Game, and will be playing The Game for the rest of your life. At this moment in time you are thinking about The Game, so you are losing The Game. Let's say you leave this site, start doing something else, and The Game leaves your mind. But then you start thinking about this site again and therefore you start thinking about The Game... that's a loss of The Game!

Keep in mind that it doesn't matter what makes you think of The Game. Usually it is something completely random and unrelated to The Game that all of a sudden reminds you of The Game. This is what makes it so interesting and fun! If you have a game-loss story you'd like to share, do so in the stories section!

The bottom line
Any time you aren't thinking about The Game and then start thinking about The Game, you lose The Game. It's that simple.

I think I get it but I guess that means I am not winning. But I have never heard of this and I think it would drive me crazy!

Thanks for making us losers. LOL

My son and his friends try to find new ways to make me lose the game. I find post-it's on my office door that say THE GAME and stuff like that...lol

LOL sorry! I just wanted to share the misery.

Never heard of it - but sounds like a good game - keeps them thinking, anyway.

It doesn't make any sense to me!
Once you lose, you are out and can't play anymore?
So everyone pretty much loses and there is no one left to play?
Anyone can lie and pretend they haven't thought of it?
I just don't see the point!

Ok, I dont know if my kids know about this and apparently I am losing because I am trying to think about it.... BUT... I do know that I now need a drink.

Honestly, I was lost when I started reading the directions, then I got to the end and found out that I was losing a game I dont even understand. LOL
