Boston - While our politicians refuse to gather 'round the craps table together, our "21" card-counting flick has been summarily panned. Recess is being banned from our schools and greyhounds are petitioning for their freedom. What's a fun-loving gamester to do?

Fear not! The whole casino-deprived city is invited to "For The Win: Adventures in Game-Based Performance Art," a three day festival of performances you can play and games you get to perform. Sure, you can just watch if you want to, but this art is best observed from the inside, where you can play your hand and spin the wheel.

For example:
White on White Twister where if you can't tell the difference between "Polite White" and "Colonial Cream" you must face the consequences.
Sadistic Endurance Skeeball for a sugarholic performer with a human mouth as your target and candy projectiles.
Evil Geniuses and their Robots battling for dominance on the Commons.
Live Action Role Play with (foam) swords and (fake) sorcerers battling to the (temporary) death.
Library Infiltrating Spies performing a game they lose as soon as they're seen.
Games that decide the fate of a heavily restrained artist, a war or the nation! (Lady Liberty will be on hand to help with that last one.)
We have performances where gathering newspapers and plastic bags off of the streets becomes a game in itself...
Or you can just settle in to play some Musical Apples to Apples, but don't forget to bring your poker face, your inquiring mind and lovely Lady Luck!
