I'm just curious if anyone else plays "The Game". It's a game for life and everyone is a loser 
It's something I heard about around 5 years ago at uni - basically the entire idea is to forget about the game, when you remember you've just lost, you say "I've lost" and it's your responsibility to tell everyone around you about the game.
A thread just reminded me off it (6 months i've gone without losing!) So I figured I'd find out if anyone else plays - I've heard of this game being played all over the UK and I wonder how far it has actually spread (maybe there's been a thread on this before? - searching "The Game" is unhelpful )..
And yes I know it's completely pointless and probably causes psychological problems, but that in itself makes it great

Oh god.
I've lost!
I've been part of this game for almost 4 years now, my cousin told me about it and i introduced my sisters and my uni mates to it. I usually forget about it for weeks or months at a time and then something will remind me of it or one of my friends will suddenly say "damn, i've lost". Once you're in the game there's no escape!

Never heard of it here in the U.S.
You did remind me of the Michael Douglas flick of the same name, though. I liked it.  _______

Yeah its a stupidly sweet game (unfortunately I started playing about the same time as you in the UK... so that doesn't help your evil 'search').
