Rules
There are three rules to The Game:
1.Everyone in the world is playing The Game. (Sometimes narrowed to: "Everybody in the world who knows about The Game is playing The Game",[4] or alternatively, "You are always playing The Game.")
2.Whenever one thinks about The Game, one loses.
3.Losses must be announced to at least one person[6] (either by using a statement such as "I lost The Game" or by alternative means).
4.Some players allow a grace period of up to half an hour after someone has lost, during which a player cannot lose The Game again, or is not obliged to announce a loss.[1] The common rules do not contain a win condition, nor do they define a point at which The Game ends. However, one reported variation states that The Game ends when the British Prime Minister "announces The Game is up" on television.[6]
Strategies:
Some players have developed strategies for making other people lose, such as writing about The Game on hidden notes, or saying "The Game" out loud, as graffiti in public places, and on banknotes.[4][5]
