So heres a game I want to play

Legomites is a game where multiple players try to operate cooperatively and coherently without the use of direct communication.

Social insects are able to accomplish sophosticated and highly coordinated tasks. They do so by using indirect or envirionmental communication. This means that the way in which they interact with the environment acts as a signal to other members of their community.

As such a large part of human communication is non verbal, and being as were so clever and all, this kind of cooperative behavior should be easy right?

Legomites pits you and your big brain against that of ants and termites and other social insects. Think you can take it?

You/we have to accomplish a simple task like building a functional structure. But we have to do it without talking, discussing or organising our actions in any language based way.

it should be good

all we need now is several thousand pieces of Lego (i’m working on that)

Here are some links to look if your wondering what ants ever did that was so good

As well as play testing new games or games you’ve developed, we can also play some games we know and love.

But what to play… hmm

any suggestions?
