And....
Well,
it sure rings bells. Monopoly? Nope. Snap? Maybe – “Chuck”
Dederich and the Synanon Cult? The “Game”? - Great minds think
alike!
“Control
over members occurred through the "Game". The "Game"
could have been considered to be a therapeutic tool, likened to a
form of group therapy; or else to a form of a "social control",
in which members humiliated one another and encouraged the exposure
of one another's innermost weaknesses, or maybe both of these.”
(Synanon Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synanon)
As
we ponder Wayne’s Game, we wonder, could the player’s exposé of
another’s innermost weaknesses and control over him begin when the
newcomer lands on the ‘Analysis Paralysis’ space? Or when
he’s trying, (but not able) to work out ‘over 150 associations of
play of the game’? Or when he lands on the ‘Take an
Inventory’ space? Or when he gets lost in the ‘28 page
Analogy Booklet’ and the ‘rule book’? Or when he picks up a
‘sponsor card’? Or could it be when the ‘2 minute timer’
runs out? Just imagine the sweating newbie’s pounding heart, those
frantically flitting eyes, as the sponsor clock is ticking and he knows
that time’s running out on him - in ‘Life’s in Session®!’
BRAIN SEIZURE! Heart stopping! Eh? How exciting! What sponsor fun!

neighbourhood, we recommend “Cults in Our Midst” by Margaret
Thaler Singer: “Cults basically have only two purposes: recruiting
new members and fundraising.” (page 11)
