Don't you do pretty much the same thing every time you act out a myth in ritual?

Hmm ... playing a game with strong mythic links could turn out to be bad news if things went wrong in the game - it might be reflected in reality.

Many ancient games have a strong bias towards one side or the other (for example, with best play in Fox and Geese the Geese win every time). It would be wise to set up the associations so that the right side had the advantage.

Letting a Trickster teach you a game could be a really bad idea.
