The ingredients don’t do anything for me. And the only thing that I thought about immersion came is that immersion is the feel of playing cowboys and Indians until you shoot your friend and he doesn’t die.

So, I guess my game will have no resolutions mechanism to halt play, you won’t by able do anything to any other player and the players have to pretend.

Here’s my entry.

Use the Sea to Put Out the Fire before Midnight and You Ride Horses

Play pretend that you’re riding horses between the sea and a fire with buckets of water to put out a fire that will burn the village down by midnight if it isn’t put out.

Each player goes a round. During a round the other players come up with obstacles that you have to get around. Tell everyone how you do that. They can help you out too as long as you ask them to do something.

The fire is put out by the player with the most awesome story. You’ll know it when you see it.

It fits on a notecard, so it qualifies for the Harper award.
