Prey

Prey

Intro: This game is a spin on the Stanford prison project, but gamifies its ideas. The game is played by assigning roles within a group of 5 or more people. 2 people are assigned to be the officer, while the others are prisoners. The group then plays any game they want. This could be Monopoly, Candyland, Risk, Clue, anything. The games are played exactly how they are traditionally played, but the catch comes into play due to the officers’ advantages. At any point during these games the officers may steal a clue (if playing clue), dodge paying rent (monopoly), or add any advantage they wish to the game, so long as it does not end the game immediately. Officers may use this advantage three times during each game, and cannot use them back to back.
