Liar Game


What would you do with a 100 million?

Imagine you come home and there is a box waiting for you. This letter accompanying the box states that this money is your money. So you can keep it. But there’s a catch. As soon as you open the box, you are playing the game. There is no way around it.

There is someone else in the world that received a box like you. With the same amount. And you have 30 days to get all that person’s money… by any means. If you don’t try, it is this person that will get all you money. And at the end of the 30 days. What ever amount you lost… you owe!

How would you play the game? Follow the rules? Remain legal? Steal? Deceive? Convice? Trade? Who would you ally with? The best trade of the world? The Mafia?

The entire spectrum of the human psyche is there for the player to use. And this would be a very good experiment in human behaviour. Of course it wouldn’t be ethical. But never the less interesting.

If you want to know more about the human psyche, and how to play game with high stakes. Read this amazing Manga that I’ve found: Liar Game.

It is very interesting… on a strategist view point.
