Neuroscience
...is nearly upon us!
DESCRIPTION
This is a game of competitive telekinesis in which two teams compete over a distance to psychically influence the behavior of a candle. The match is played by lighting a candle at the centre of the game board, signalling the beginning of the game. When the candle is extinguished the match is over. The object of the game is to have the wax from the candle drip onto the opposing team's side of the board. This objective is accomplished by remote telekinetic influence.
