Countdown: A Game For Two Players
…
The rules are arbitrary in the wherever,
but here, in this circle, they are real.Of course, this membrane is porous.
It flutters and flows and lets pass
certain realities and unrealities.
The game isn’t the same if the world changes.
And games can change your world.But the magic circle creates a promise of escape.
At any time, you can step outside the circle.
At any time, you can make this stop.
