Phase I: Play as a virus’ strains changing from body to body (introduce yourself, explore an area, grow, find nothing left, fall dormant).

Just this once: explore changing bodies. Do not fear, do not panic, be curios, be detail-oriented, encompass desire, be beside yourself capturing with words and expression what is a scene of fire as but a mountain dressed in autumn leaves.



Phase II: Describe changing symptoms as the virus pilgrimages from one person into others as though the symptoms were changes in fashion: colorful dresses, silky suits, edible fascinators, wild penny loafers, deft blouses, fair cuff links.



You are you. Sick or well: be and know you are beloved.

Please avoid this paragraph’s linked example playthrough until you have enjoyed your own innovative and unique interpretation of the shyly different game’s rules. Yep! This interpretive playthrough includes turns, reiterations, closing remarks and a play-by-play summary. It is provided for listening in part, but full listening should be fine. It is for those who, after 6 minutes, have enjoyed nothing of the game. It is in audio it is a video format it is my first recording it is on soundcloud, here, it is on youtube, here.
