An experiment in memory excavation and obsessive existentialist detailing,
Dead Letter Game
is ideal for one or more players ages 12 and up. The game once started plays indefinitely. Players
will soon recognize that the end is in sight but ever receding on a horizon replete with potential
outcomes. This is not a continuous present so much as a persistent continuum. To stop and start
again is to play the same game only differently. Do not be startled if patterns emerge,
which is normal under ideal playing conditions. The game as played here is neither the all
nor the part of it. Down to the very letter as well as out beyond its margins you will find
the dead letter game, whole and in progress. An open-source document, DLG automatically
self-absorbs upon completion, returning to the epistolary commons from which it came.
