What Is Any Game?

While working on the book Spiritual Gaming with the Classics, it became evident that many of the suggested rule modifications would work equally well on most any game. For example, the rules designed to turn Parcheesi into a spiritual game were found to work equally well on any game played with dice and markers. This became the inspiration for The Any Game Cookbook—a collection of rule modifications, exercises, mentations, and assorted activities designed to turn any game into a spiritual adventure.

But wait, before you head off to the toy store searching the aisles for a game called “any game”, let me share a bit of news: Any Game(tm) is in production and available for purchase. However, the game is only sold directly from the manufacturer. If you are interested in a copy of the game, contact Gateways Books and Tapes requesting a price list. I’m sure they will be happy to hook you up.

However, least you think it necessary to purchase a special game for use with this book, let me assure you that “any game” can mean literally any game—Monopoly, Canasta, Pinochle, Chess, Cribbage, Parcheesi, Domino, Ping Pong, etcetera, so forth, and so on.
