Java, our Shetland Sheepdog, actually invented a game you play with a piece of rope. He invented this game when he was about four and taught it to us by repeatedly forcing us to play it. I don’t know what Java calls this game because I’m not completely certain he has an internal concept of “language” or “names” so I’m calling it The Best Game because that is how he seems to think of it. If he were allowed to, Java would play this game and nothing else forever.
I hereby submit this game to #objectjam on Java’s behalf. Here is how you play.
Java, AKA Player One.The Best Game requires:
- A short piece of rope, say a little under a foot, preferably with one or more knots in it.
- Two players. Player Two has to be a human because they need to have hands. Player One can be anybody.
The game is played in three phases, which repeat:
Phase 1: Keep-away. Player One starts with the rope (Java holds it with his mouth because that is how he holds things). Player Two has to try to get it. Player One should stand as close as possible to Player Two (this is not a hiding game), but if Player Two tries to grab the rope immediately dodge out of the way.
Phase 2: Tug-of-war. Player Two has now grabbed one end of the rope. However, Player One still holds the other end. Player One should hold on as tight as possible to prevent Player Two from taking it away.
Phase 3: Fetch. Player Two, now that they have the rope, must throw the rope as far as possible, so that Player One can run really fast and go retrieve it. Player One then returns the rope to Player Two’s position, at which point Phase 1 restarts immediately.
Tips for playing: Sometimes, people may not realize they are playing the game, or might think the game is done. In this case, Player One can try dropping the rope in Player Two’s lap; when they pick the rope up, Player One can immediately re-grab the other end of the rope at which point Phase 2 begins immediately. (This means you skip Phase 1 but this is okay because it’s a good way of teaching Player Two the game. You can ease in Phase 1 as they get the idea.) If Player Two doesn’t immediately react to having the rope dropped in their lap, maybe they didn’t notice you put it there. Try picking the rope up again and dropping it 3 or 4 more times.

REAL-LIFE #OBJECTJAM GAME from my childhood. For two players. No name I can remember. [SEVEN TWEETS]
The defending player strews toys, household objects, furniture, etc. around the living room. Player 2 cannot see. [2/7]
When the field is complete, player 2 is introduced to one end, while wearing a sleeping bag upside down (to the floor) [3/7]
Player 2's objective is to reach the other side of the living room. (Then players switch.) [4/7]
Player 1 supervises in order to keep player 2 from getting hurt. Some peeking allowed, but only if totally stuck. [5/7]
No stage is timed. No limitations on obstacles. [6/7]
I played it only once, circa 1993, with Lila Star Smith: a shining, gentle soul who is no longer with us. [7/7]

I'm too lazy to wait for this jam to start, so I'm launching early. And no-one else is home, so I've not actually played my entry. But here it is:
— George Buckenham (@v21) May 4, 2013
a wall of books (a game for a wall of books)
make a pile of books stacked against a wall. use all the books. pile the books as sturdy as you can. if you have the patience and strength, everyone should contribute their own books. but books are heavy, so fuck that shit. use what you got.
everyone sits beside the wall of books, crosslegged. everyone picks a favorite book from the pile. everyone gets a bookmark and places it just inside the front cover of their book.
players take it in turns to describe a book. they pick another player, who has to has to withdraw books til they get the book being described. put the books back on the wall. if you gotta take extra books out to extract a book, take them out, then put them back on the pile. but you can't put any books on the floor that aren't already on the floor. if you get the wrong book: move your bookmark forward a page (ok ok, technically two pages). when you get the book being described, read a little of it aloud. and now someone else has a go.
when the pile falls on everyone, the game ends. the winner is the person with their bookmark closest to the front of their book.
now tidy up!
