It’s like the traditional world conquest games… but with a twist
Playing God. It has been used to describe anything from making life-and-death decisions for people with no say in the matter, to totalitarian control over anyone who fall within the scope of your little fiefdom.
All it takes to play is a little bit of power and an overinflated sense of self-importance.
But why should elected officials and political/media elite be the only ones to play this game. After all, games like Chess, Risk, and Axis and Allies (and any number of knock-offs that have come up since) let the average kid play at being a world-class military general on whose decisions the fate of the free world might depend.
Why shouldonly the elitesget to experience the heady thrill of decisions normally regulated to folks with a God Complex? Why shouldn’t ordinary people have the same sort of vicarious at-home experience? Well now you can!
It doesn’t matter if you go bankrupt in Monopoly, get unsettled in Catan, or are a total loser in Life, you can always try your hand at playing God.
(Game Designer note: just like the game played for real stakes by the God Complex types, home game points and currencies have no cash value when standing before the Real Deal on the Last Day.)
