“Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives.
I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends
and I think I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that.
That’s what’s insane about it. “

John Lennon

DESCRIPTION

“Under Pressure” was designed by Jonny Garcia in 2014.

It’s an abstract game, that takes about 10 Minutes to play and talks about prejudice. It was not designed to be fun.
It allows minimum of 4, maximum of 6, players. Two of the players are a couple, and the others are The Society.

During the 10 Minutes of Play-Time the couple flirts, dates and acts out love,
while The Society, with all it’s prejudices, all it’s hate and it’s urge for standardization
– step by step – puts the couple under pressure.
