Juggernaut

By Jason Morningstar
Players: 5-6
Genre: Computer horror
It
is July third, 1950. The Korean War is eight days old. National Security
Council Report 68 is sitting on Harry Truman’s desk, a grim outline of the Cold
War that is to enfold the world for the next 40 years. Alan Turing’s paper
“Computing Machinery and Intelligence” is circulating for review. Cinderella is a box office sensation.
And
you have invented a computer than can see the future.
Employing
cutting-edge Ward-Takahashi identity derivations outside their
quantum-theoretical framework, JUGGERNAUT processes enormous data sets,
ostensibly in the service of code-breaking once the technology is proven and
refined. The unstable geniuses behind the math have reached some curious
conclusions that only experimental evidence can confirm. By the numbers, JUGGERNAUT
– given enough resources – should be able to crack ciphers before they are even
invented.
JUGGERNAUT
is a live-action game about free will for 4-6 players and 1-2 hours that plays
like a creepy Twilight Zone episode
and requires almost no prep. Replay value is high and it is always weird and
intense to play.
Cost: $15
