My first exposure to parliamentary procedure was a total mind blow.
Like most of my gamer geek friends, I grew up stubbornly apolitical.
But if we had known about Robert's Rules, we likely would have become junkies. After all, half the fun of board games is arguing about the rules.
- tialaramex 6y agoIf you think that's the fun part (lots of people don't) you should look at a Nomic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomic

- tialaramex 6y agoIt seems unlikely that Calvinball is a nomic. Instead Calvinball appears to be more like Mornington Crescent, in that players are all participating in creating a mutually satisfying fiction, Calvinball's fiction looks like a complicated ballgame, Mornington Crescent more cerebral but since in both cases there aren't actually any set rules the game is not about changing the rules. Rosalyn eventually figures out how to play Calvinball well just as players can get "good" at Mornington Crescent with experience.
