2019/Game

The Great Encyclopedia Adventure, colloquially known as "Game Night", is a loose overarching role-playing game for Saturday night at WikiConference North America 2019, and a utopic sequel to the Post-Information Masquerade of Friday evening.

Scenario
Following a disastrous decision by the WMF to offer an Initial Coin Offering in 2030, the encyclopedia has been effectively broken up, and the players can engage in any of a variety of mini-games to gather enough "wikicoin" together to re-found a unified Wikipedia.

Mini-games
A variety of mini-games, including regular and wiki-specialized board games, scavenger hunts, talent shows, etc.


 * w:Wikipedia:Wikipedia games
 * Wiki Dixit
 * Statenger Hunt
 * Sockpuppet Theatre
 * Calvinball
 * anything else

Victory condition
There are 42 "wikicoin" in the symbolic form of plastic tokens. The goal is to build up "new pillars" for Wikipedia, and suggestions for pillars will be written on community cards, or players can write up their own. Any combination of players can use 5 tokens to build up a pillar of Wikipedia and will nominate a "new co-founder" to manage it. At the end of the evening the various co-founders will have the authority to re-found Wikipedia if they can agree on a "second Five Pillars" to complement the original set, with the wording of each pillar subject to negotiation among them.
