Really great design, for me, has bite.
I ran a game of My Life with Master out in Galway, Ireland this month. The Master was Snow White and the minions were the Dwarfs, but behind that Disney facade there was _truth_ about relationships that we all brought into play. It was horrifying and painful, and for us hugely enjoyable.
MLwM is anything but a safe game to have designed. It has balls, and then some. It is as bold, as fresh, and as incisive now as it was when it came out.
Two of the Galway crowd ordered the game online right after the game finished. Where had this game been all their lives?
On vision and design MLwM absolutely blows away most mainstream games.
