I believe that this satisfies that theme by being, a) available on a single sheet of paper, and thus no code involved, b)up to the player's imagination to determine what happens in the game!\r\n\r\nThe game is playable at best with 2-4 people involved, say with your family. The premise is to take turns and roll a 6-sided dice (Who doesn't have a 6-sided dice laying around, really?) to determine quirks (roleplaying characteristics), playing order, and scenarios. Scenarios tell you the broad category of what happens, and each player eventually weaves each individual scenario into a grand story. \r\n\r\nThe source for my game comes from the official PocketMod website, where I originally got the idea for the Minimalist theme. \r\n\r\nEach link goes to the same file, a .pdf document. I did that to show that anyone can play this game, including the all-inclusive Linuxers out there.\r\n\r\nThank you all, and have a great day!<\/p>","title":"Pointcom: The 1-Page Minimalist Game"}
