Patrick recently told me about a new game he came up with called Triangulate!. Inspired by the phrase, "a little bit country, a little bit rock n roll," the idea of the game is to identify three facets of your personality. You can use 3 movies, 3 musical genres, 3 songs, 3 authors, 3 cars, 3 occupations, etc. to try to shows different sides of who you are. For example, I would say I'm one part banker, one part interior designer, and one part English teacher. Of course, these three things don't entirely define who I am, but they give you some idea of what I think about myself. This game is more difficult than you might think. It's tough to come up with different things that define your personality. It might be little easier to identify aspects of someone else...you can play it that way too. I believe this game is intended to be a roadtrip game...it can take a while to come up with three songs that tell who you are. It can also be a blog game or a party game. Think about it. You'll like it.
I hear that Patrick is already working on Triangulate 2!. Maybe it'll be a board game. Milton Bradley is going to be all over this!
Go ahead, try it. Define yourself.**
**Don't you think "define yourself" would be a good slogan for this game? I just came up with that. Maybe "identify yourself" would be better.
