PLAY ME! Cruel 2 B Kind Playtests @ Mission Dolores Park

If you are going to be in the Bay Area on Sunday September 3 (yes, Labor Day weekend) or Sunday September 10, I am inviting you to playtest Cruel 2 B Kind, the new game of benevolent assassination that Ian Bogost and I have cooked up for the Come Out and Play festival in New York City.


The playtests will be in my favorite city park, Mission Dolores. They will last about an hour, and be small and casual. We can hang out afterwards, and I will feed you lovely picnic food as we chat about how the game went. I also will be quite grateful to you for testing it out, and will consider you a co-conspirator for life. :) All you need is a partner (game begins with 2-person teams, although you will collaborate with other players later) and one cell phone between you that can send and receive email-based SMS (which is basically everyone who uses SMS/text at all, and our sign up page has a guide to figuring out your SMS email if you don't know it yet)

So: I need about a dozen or so adventurous folks for each.
