The More the Merrier

In the ideal global picture, people laughing and playing together create an experience in common.  Commonalities create connections, the invitation to further relationship. From relationship comes the possibility of understanding, acceptance, and even forgiveness.

The More The Merrier means that, the more players, the merrier it is! When a lot of people play together, individual energies become a synergistic phenomenon and the combined energy of two or more players is greater than the sum of their individual effects.

The More the Merrier means that more players are not an obstacle to play, but something to celebrate. Large group play may not be the answer to world peace, but it could be the kinesthetic catalyst to peace among groups of every size!
