Party Games• Parties are for

pastimes but as acquaintance ripens, games begin to emerge.

• Four typical games which are played in social situations are given.

Ain’t It Awful• Nowadays is a punitive

parental pastime (Ex : Juvenile delinquency).

• Broken Skin is an adult variation with the slogan “what a pity”.

• Water cooler is the child pastime with the slogan “ Look what they are doing to us now”.

Blemish• It is played from the

depressive Child position “ I am no good” which is protectively transformed into the Parental position “ They are no good”.

• Blemish provides negative reassurance to the players.

Schlemiel• The Schlemiel makes the

first move to embarrass the other person.

• If he shows his anger, schlemiel can feel justified in returning the resentment.

• If he restrains himself, he can go on enjoying his opportunities.

• The antithesis is not offering the demanded absolution.

Why Don’t You – Yes But• It occupies a special

place in game analysis because it was the original stimulus for the concept of games.

• The agent presents a problem and others start presenting solutions.

• Agent objects and all the others give up feeling bad.
