THE INFINITE GAME
- a 23 hours live action role play reading group
08.09.2018, 14.00 h - 09.09.2018 13.00 h
“Infinite players cannot say when their game began, nor do they care.
They do not care for the reason that their game is not bonded by time.
Indeed, the only purpose of the game is to prevent it from coming
to an end, to keep everyone in play.”
An inconspicuous casino in the heart of Kreuzberg, a formerly hermetic
atmosphere for habitual play has turned into a 23 hours open access
to an Infinite Game. Players enter the game by choosing a character
of the exhibition and join a collective reading and interpretation of
the book "Finite and Infinite Games" by James P. Carse.
The game can be entered and left at any time.
The Infinite Game is set within the background of Deep Nation,
a Live Action Roleplay Game designed by Omsk Social Club.
