When the good go Bad

Transposed from an older blog


Completely unproductive day, due to late night drinking and playing board games, in a surreal alternative to real life.

Posse of Greenpeace people start by sitting down to play Terra, a cooperation game about er saving the world. To win however you need to be a bit selfish. Three games later, too much selfish play has doomed the planet to destruction, like all three times.

So we move on to Condottiere, warfare in Rennaissance Italy. Now we're better at this, murder, war and betrayal abound. Clawing to victory over the bodies of our fellow players.

To finish with High Soceity, a game of turning wealth into whats's important. Big status symbols like private Jets, fast sportscars, Yachts and other essential aquistions. Several bankruptcies later we call it an evening.

Luckily we're all much nicer in real life.
