Jason Rohrer’s Board Game: ‘A Game for Someone’ being buried in Nevada Desert

‘A Game for Someone’ is Jason Rohrer’s finest creation to date. The highly acclaimed game developer has created a board game that is supposed to be played by “someone” 2,000 years from now. The game has been buried at an unknown location in Nevada already. However, if you are up to the challenge, you can hunt ‘A Game for Someone’ and claim it as yours already!

According to CNET, “The cathedrals of Europe took centuries to build, surviving political upheavals for the benefit of future generations,” can this hold true for Jason’s latest creation? We don’t know. Frankly no one does because 2,000 years is a long time. Mankind is rushing towards its own destruction at the hands of global warfare, cyber-attacks, terrorism and etc.

I think that ‘A Game for Someone’ will always remain a game for someone; a mystery at best. If anyone is lucky enough to find it a few months, or perhaps a few years from today, that’ll be it. However, I doubt there will be any human beings surviving 2,000 years later; ready to play one of Rohrer’s classics.

Why Did Rohrer Create ‘A Game for Someone”?

Jason Rohrer has created titles, such as ‘The Castle Doctrine’. In case you don’t know anything about ‘A Castle Doctrine’ or you haven’t played it yet, you can read about it here. As far as ‘A Game for Someone’ is concerned, Rohrer created it because he accepted the “Humanity’s Last Game” challenge. The guy won it after he unveiled his masterpiece recently.

‘A Game for Someone’ Possesses Real Titanium Pieces

Technically, this game is not meant to be played by anyone alive today. Maybe if there are people walking around after 2,000 years or so, they will be playing this game. Resources suggest that the game has been buried somewhere in Nevada desert. Maybe Jason himself doesn’t know the exact location of the game.

“I wanted to make a game that is not for right now, that I will never play and nobody now living would ever play,” says Jason Rohrer in an online interview. The game board size is 18 X 18 inches, and has pure titanium pieces. Together the game weighs somewhere around 30 – 40 Lbs. Rohrer says that after developing ‘A Game for Someone’ he never played it!

The game’s directions, manual and rules were printed on an acid free paper, which was later on enclosed in titanium covering and a Pyrex tube. Jason Rohrer has over 1 million GPS coordinates to ‘A Game for Someone’. If you are up for the challenge, you can find this game on your own. Frankly, it could be buried anywhere in deep within Nevada desert!

Jason has already made the calculations. Individually, it is not possible for you to find the game. Even if you were to go to one GPS location a day, it will take you exactly 2,700 years, or a little more than that, to find ‘A Game for Someone’.

On the bright side, there is a strong possibility for you to find other ancient artifacts during your quest for this game. If you are up to the challenge, let us know. We’ll pray for ya! Good luck.
