Moderators: Put this in Mundane Babble if you’re compelled to I just somehow wanted to try it in here.
I’m trying to invent a game. Right now you’re seeing it in the hashed-up uncertain stage with gaps everywhere. I’m betting it’s already been thought up I just didn’t do the research. But let me try.
I could have put it in “Mundane Babble” but I think it might have relevant things to consider in a Social Science. If anyone sees how this doesn’t work, and can tweak it so that it does, or can fill the gaps, or can try it and give feedback, I’d be interested. Right now it’s just a rough draft without any real sorting. I think what I’m trying to do is put the use of propasitional logic in a very creative, social way.
The game has x players. (Say 3 or more).
Take a deck of blank cards.
Each player takes 6x “command” cards and 5x “person” cards.
5x cards are also written as a set of operators. As follows: (, ->, &, /, ~. The symbols are as you’d expect in propositional logic. (Bracket, conditional, conjunct, dysjunct, negation).
NOTE: In total that should be (16x cards)
The “person” cards simply each receive the name of the person holding the card.
The “command” card is any action which the player wants to think of, as something that a person might reasonably be able to do on cue. They can be silly or normal. Each player makes 3 of these cards. Then copies the same command onto 3 others.
All of these cards are shuffled together.
Each person picks cards in order. NOTE: I still have to sort what kind of rules should dictate how many cards are picked and how they all work together. I know that can be figured out, it’s just tedious.
Here’s the idea behind it. Each card you pick becomes part of a “Command” in propositional logic.
As the commands build up, everyone is forced under various commands to do what it tells them. And naturally, these are dependant on what others are doing.
The “winner” is either the last one to give up or the one that can’t get any more cards. Something like that.
If you want me to paint a picture on the idea of what this gets people doing I’ll be happy to. I realize the post is hard to follow. Sorry.
