**Official Rules of the Game:**  
(i) If you think of the game, you lose.  
(ii) If you lose the game, you must announce it to the people in your vicinity.  
(iii) Once a loss has been announced in your vicinity, you have 30 minutes to forget the game before it resumes.  
(iv) If someone asks, you must explain the game to them.

## _(v) For the purpose of KirupaForum, if you lose the forum, you must post in this thread to announce your loss._

Now that you know the rules, you are automatically playing whether you like it or not. My dorm floor has been playing for several years (and I personally for over a year). And after doing some research, it is not just us. In fact, there is a website devoted to the game that I found while trying to find more information on it.

A proposed (but not widely accepted) rule is that the game will come to an end if/when the current acting Prime Minister of Britain announces on live television that he/she just lost the game.
