Description

Originally published circa 2010, now available as pdf here! :D

(I'm more interested in getting these games in folks' hands than making a couple of bucks, so if you can't swing twelve bucks, drop me a line, and I'll totally hook you up.)

What is a “game poem”? Basically, it’s a little game that you can pick up and play in fifteen minutes or so, give or take.There’s no preparation time, nothing to get between you and playing immediately.They generally address some specific mood or emotion, or focus on one particular notion, but not all of the games here strictly adhere to that definition. First and foremost, a game poem is just there to be taken in and experienced with a friend or group of friends for a few moments, and then those moments are over – and hopefully, something small and wonderful will happen in the process. 

(I guess folks are calling these "lyric games" now? So, that's cool, it's awesome to see a billion of these out now!)
