Comic Josh Gondelman and artist Molly Roth share a list of just a few of their favorite games that adults play. The name of this week’s game? Call me!
DODGE CALL
Number of players: 2
Description of gameplay: One player (the Caller) attempts to force the other player (the Dodger) into responding to their pervasive phone calls and texts. The occasion for this correspondence is not important: Maybe the two players have already made plans, maybe one is an old friend who is really going through it while the other can’t with this right now. Gameplay is the same regardless.
Game ends when…: The Caller wins if the Dodger responds at any point in the future. The Dodger wins if he/she can avoid responding until the two see each other in person next. Bonus points are applied if they successfully pretend not to have received the Caller’s correspondence in the first place.
