Rules of the Game - Deepstash

Rules of the Game

  • Never figure out what you want your people to do and then try to create a game out of it.
  • Never create a game for the people you’re unwilling to play yourself.
  • Make sure there are specific ways of winning the game without ending it.
  • Change the game from time-to-time – the tactics, not the strategy.
  • Never expect the game to be self-sustaining. People need to be reminded of it constantly.
  • The game has to make sense.
  • The game needs to be fun from time to time.
  • If you can’t think of a good game, steal one.
