The Game
The Game is simply called 'The Game'.
The object of The Game is to forget you are playing The Game. I first was introduced to this in 1996 or thereabouts.
You lose if at any time you remember you're playing The Game. When you do remember you're playing it, you must tell everyone in your present company that you 'Just remembered I'm playing The Game' - and then proceed to explain the rules to them, as they are now (whether they like it or not) playing The Game also. You have 20 minutes to forget all about The Game before it restarts.
The Game by its very nature spreads like wildfire. I was at a barbecue last summer and someone who was entirely unconnected with the set I know remembered she was playing The Game...
BTW, you're all playing it now as by default, I just remembered I am playing it. Thats the rules.

Then you lose too, but everyone not playing has to start. That strikes me as being a really fucking shit/amazing game. Either way, thanks for explaining.
