"The Game," can also refer to life in general (it's been likened to a kind of elaborate game before in history) so I have to concur with WillyP's thoughts.

On the game itself though, I thought it was an interesting little thought experiment, and one could theoretically apply some psychological science to it. You wouldn't think it, (obviously because you'd be losing the game that way :P) but the whole idea has the potential for some deep thinking, at least from an outsider's perspective.

But for those who wouldn't give a hoot, yeah it does seem kind of idiotic.  ::)

"losing" could just as easily mean just being stuck in the state of thinking about the game.
