I got together with this group called
MNZero —which is something of a minnesota-based rendition of the immersive, real-life art-game called
SFZero— to play a game dreamed up by my friend Kate Saturday called "Dino Hunt".
In this game,
"Tribes of prehistoric vegetarians hunt dinosaur puppets with wiffleball spears, while trying to avoid the predations of ptreacherous pterodactyls. With each meatless kill, they claim a new dish for their vegetarian picnic."
It was a lot of fun.
Each dinosaur had a number of hit points, which represented the number of times it could be hit by the wiffleballs tossed at it by the tribe of vicious vegans. When the dinosaur is killed, it dies dramatically and offers up its bloody, yet still somehow humane, bounty.
