    This document provides guidance for a "metagame" to be played during multiplayer games where the goal is to focus on enjoying the company of other players rather than just the game itself. Players are instructed to mark tallies on a character sheet or piece of paper when they find themselves enjoying off-topic discussions, amused by player asides, or impressed by other players. At the end of the session, players should tell each other they enjoyed their company if they found that to be true. The purpose is to remember that spending time with other players is as important as the game itself.

    Enjoying Company

    a metagame to be played during any multi-player game

    This is more of an excercise than a game, but one that can be helpful. the goal is
    to remember that a good portion of playing a game is the company you play it with.
    so remember that. remember that you like the people you are playing a game with,
    that you enjoy spending time with them. That the wandering discussion, the getting
    off topic, the meandering is still enjoyable.

    so, to the game, such as it is.

    if you have a character sheet, you can use a corner of it to play, or any other bit
    of paper to make tallys on.

    be mindful of your play, and pay attention to the people you are playing with. mark
    a tally when you find yourself enjoyably off topic, or amused by an aside.

    mark a tally when you are impressed by the people you are playing with.

    When the session ends, tell the people you have been playing with that you have
    enjoyed their company, assuming you have.

    So there it is, and it isn't much of a game, but doing these things, enjoying the
    moments between active gameplay with the people I've chosen to spend time with is
    good. remembering it, and reminding them that you enjoy their company is powerful.

    I hope this helps you.
