Mishmash

Mishmash is a game playable with any number of players.

The point of Mishmash is to strip a game down to its bare essentials: a group of people interpreting a piece of text as a ruleset instructing them to play a game.

In Mishmash the rules text is the welding together of player-brought text fragments. The main difficulty in the game is figuring out how to understand the text as workable rules-text. Mishmash is not Nomic: the point is not to amend a ruleset together, or invent a game together. When play starts the ruleset is already made!
