Playstation is in fact a sport as there is no fortune

involved; merely cold hard logic. Brain against brain;

Wit against wit; the fate of the game is entirely

in your hands. It is hard to say what the rules are as

there are many different schools of thought on this

issue, and modern philosophers prefer to leave the

details, not to mention the principles undefined,

asserting they define themselves and must be allowed

to evolve. However it is possible to give you a few

general clues to get you started.

 

1) Nothing is certain.

 

2) The game requires a whole number of players.

We advise at least four.

 

3) Each player must assume a symbol. The Classical

school maintain it must be a circle, square, cross, or

triangle. However more modern players have general

developed their own symbols.

 

4) The game is to be played on a large grid. (in order

to save travelling time we suggest less than 1km

square) Some insist on an A4 page.

 

5) The players usually take turns to draw their symbols

in a square. Probably with the aim of creating a

line and preventing the opposition doing so.

 

6) The line can go in any direction (2 dimensions

advised, although 4 dimensional play is more

interesting) and should be of a predetermined length.

eg. 7 boxes long.

 

After this point the schools of thought divide and

rules 7-13 are those adopted by the forum.

 

8) There must be no rule "7"

 

9) Once a line has been made all the boxes within that

line and those of any neighbouring occupied square

are contaminated. Any symbol placed next to a

contaminated one also becomes contaminated.

 

10) Onions are prohibited and must not be used

except in self or selfless defence.

 

11) Contamination blocks may be placed. Contamination

cannot spread onto a square occupied by a block.

 

12) Hospitals decontaminate all squares adjacent to

themselves. These squares are no longer part of the

game.

 

13) A player may not bring their camel into the playing

area unless it is raining heavily.
