William S. Burroughs once observed that "there may be other universes based on all sorts of other principles, but ours seems to be based on war and games." Wars abound, on every continent and for every reason, but let's leave further discussion on that for those more well-versed in the subject. Games likewise have proliferated. They've not only made their way into innumerable living rooms, they've also taken up residence in our psyches, as they serve as safe battlefields to satiate our competitive desires and as a way to indulge our escapist inclinations. Who doesn't want to mobilize armies and take over the world and in doing so, manifest his superiority over some of his closest rivals in the world: family members. (For example, this writer remains ensnared in a bitter fraternal dispute over the ethics of a particular Scattergories approach.)
