Just when you thought that game couldn't go any more mainstream, Neill Strauss just announced his new board game: "Who's Got Game?"

He just put his name on the box for some royalties i guess. Not a bad idea really but i wouldn't buy it. 97 dolla !!

Don't know anything about this particular game.

But the premise isn't bad - a board game that by playing will help you seduce a girl. Any games (not necessarily board games) that you players like to use in seduction?

According to his write-up, it's a real pickup ploy. A group plays the game and every guy has a target. He claims that typical game components (kino, cold reading, etc.) are employed in the board game. He claims that it was tested in the field before being placed on the market. I guess it's supposed to be used when guys invite a bunch of girls back to their crib.

This is a scam.

Reminds me of that "Game: how to attract chicks by becoming a successful famous author" or something picture...

I used to have respect for Style. Now he's nothing more but another shyster trying to grab a buck at every opportunity. It's obvious at this point he's out of new ideas and his 15 minutes of fame is over. $77 for a fucking board game? I guess his annihilation method workbook($4000??) has run its course and he had to move to something else to pay his mortgage.

To be fair, Amazon says "1 new from $77.00".

I doubt this thing was mass produced.

Probably a few made.

Now someone who had this sitting in a junk pile in their crib is trying to make a little scratch.

I thought "The Game" was horrible. I only read half, then had to throw that thing away.

"Emergency" was halfway decent.

NS is correct. The price was $97 this morning, but out of stock. Another seller has since listed it at $77. According to Neil Strauss, he was approached by a Hasbro game developer who designed the game himself and then Strauss collaborated in designing the final product. Not sure whether Hasbro actually put out the product.

Yea, I never heard of Neil Strauss until I read "Emergency," which is a very entertaining book.

I like to make girls play dungeons and dragons with me once I've got them chained up in the basement.

I have read "the game" and "emergency" and I liked them both. "The game" was actually my introduction to PUA concepts and I was living in Hollywood at the time he was there writing the book so for me it was even more interesting. "Emergency" kind of paralleled so many of my same thought processes at the time I got a kick out of it - All the way down to the sovereign society news letters. I enjoy his writing, so when I saw the headline to this thread I misread that he was starting his own message board. A board game does seem like he's milking the cow a little too hard.

Great news, instead of going out we can practice game together in the comfort of our own home. Lol!

I like the book "the game"and it got me into pick up but i didn't gt much advice from it. Mystery's writes and audio tapes did a lot more for me.

The book the game"" gets boring once your halfway in the book, its all guys fighting over seduction business.

That's because The Game is a shill for other products. It purposely only skims the surface, so that readers will go buy other Style and Mystery products. This is why I find the reverence for the book so baffling.

It's just a semi-interesting story, not much more.

Just the tip. Girls always lose that game.
