How it Works

4 players play a scene, in which one of the players gets excluded.

Notes

This is a group exercise, in the sense that players should be sensing where the majority of the group is going (see Alien Tiger Cow ).

Tell players not to be afraid of 'being nasty' - be extreme in your exclusion (that makes it easier, also for the player that is excluded - see Mr. Nice Guy ). Whoever gets excluded should gladly accept this and react accordingly.

Excluded players can go to extremes to be re-included - hilariously funny if even this is thoroughly ignored by the others.

Variations

Let the exclusion evolve; allow a player that got excluded to get 2 others to join him and exclude the fourth one. This only works if the excluded player first allows herself to be excluded (a little Chivalry here).

Also known as Alliances.
