I understand the rules, that if you think about "The Game", you lose. You can never win. The longer you avoid thinking about "The Game", the better you are.

But why on earth would you play such a stupid game?

I do not see the attraction to it whatsoever and some people can get quite worked up about losing. But how on earth can you lose if there is no winner? As far as i think, if you do not win, you lose.

I really don't understand the concept....

Everything in life is pointless. No matter how amazing you might be, you are entirely unimportant. You will die and the cycle of pointlessness will continue.

Embrace the pointless things or give up completely.

It's a secret club where you make it known that your ass is up for rent by stating that you lost the game, or simply stating 'the game'

In a quiet place like in a library, on a quiet coach on the train, in a lecture theatre, or somewhere else where elderly, orderly quiet people should be. (you need a minimum of 2 players, but 3-5 is best) positioned in different places. You say "bogies!" starting off quietly, taking it in turns untill you reach screaming point, or whoever is the last one remaining.

I'm guessing thats because the other participants are being beaten to death by the other people who arn't playing?..
