Fighting in World War II, that descendant of a long line of German immigrants in the United States found himself <a href="https://www.openculture.com/2012/07/kurt_vonnegut_writes_home_from_world_war_ii.html">imprisoned in Dresden</a> just when it was devastated by Allied firebombing. To understand the relevance of this experience to his literary work, one need only know that his captors made him live in a slaughterhouse. It’s not surprising that anti-war sentiments would surface again and again in the books he wrote after coming home. But one would hardly expect him to have spent his time away from the writing desk on a military-themed board game.</p> <p>“After releasing his first novel, <em>Player Piano</em>, in 1952, to positive reviews and poor sales, he needed other streams of income to support his growing family,” <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/03/crosswords/kurt-vonnegut-board-game-ghq.html?smid=url-share">writes the New York <em>Times</em>’ Julia Carmel</a> of the young Vonnegut. <span style="font-size: 13pt;">Of all his endeavors — which included public relations, a car dealership and a very brief stint at </span><em style="font-size: 13pt;">Sports Illustrated</em><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> — he was most passionate about designing a board game called </span><em style="font-size: 13pt;">General Headquarters</em><span style="font-size: 13pt;">.” </span>Readers of Vonnegut’s novels might expect a sardonically didactic object lesson on the futility of war, but in fact, “<em>GHQ</em> is a fast-paced two-player battle game in which each player maneuvers military units — infantry, armored vehicles, artillery and an airborne regiment — to capture the other player’s headquarters.”</p> <div class="oc-center-da"> <div data-fuse="22871471544"></div> </div> <p>Vonnegut never did manage to sell the game, which has only just come <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/kurt-vonneguts-ghq-the-lost-board-game-mars-international/1146300521" rel="nofollow">available for purchase at Barnes & Noble stores</a>. Its long-delayed production was the project of a tabletop game designer called Geoff Engelstein, who ran across a brief mention of <em>GHQ</em> that eventually inspired him to inquire about the game’s status with the writer’s estate. The 40 pages of notes amid Vonnegut’s papers include several revisions of its rules, but also pitch letters to board-game companies suggesting that <em><a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/kurt-vonneguts-ghq-the-lost-board-game-mars-international/1146300521" rel="nofollow">GHQ</a> </em>could “become the third popular checkerboard game” — and even “be used to train cadets at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.”</p> <p><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Despite probably having missed its chance to enter the standard military-academy curriculum, the game could nevertheless become a must-have among collectors of Vonnegutiana. </span><span style="font-size: 13pt;">According to </span><a style="font-size: 13pt;" href="https://www.kvmlshop.org/product/pre-sale-kurt-vonnegut-the-lost-board-game-ghq/877">the Kurt Vonnegut Museum & Library’s online store</a><span style="font-size: 13pt;">, “</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;">this first edition of </span><em style="font-size: 13pt;">GHQ</em><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> features deluxe wooden pieces and a 24-page commentary booklet, showing Kurt Vonnegut’s actual design notes to give insight into his creative process.” It may </span>“lack the signature dark sense of humor that runs through Mr. Vonnegut’s writing,” as Carmel puts it, but it surely couldn’t be without his less widely acknowledged — but no less characteristic — instinct for entertainment value.</p> <p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/03/crosswords/kurt-vonnegut-board-game-ghq.html?smid=url-share">via The New York Times</a></p> <p><strong>Related content:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.openculture.com/2015/09/kurt-vonnegut-creates-a-report-card-for-his-novels.html">Kurt Vonnegut Diagrams the Shape of All Stories in a Master’s Thesis Rejected by U.

Despite that, it isn’t the oldest American board game: that honor goes to <a href="https://www.loc.gov/resource/g3701a.ct011568r/?r=0.379,-0.031,0.579,0.261,0"><em>Travellers’ Tour Through the United States</em></a>, which came out more than a century earlier, in 1822. Whereas Monopoly teaches its players about real-estate values in Depression-era Atlantic City (as well as a thing or two about capitalism), the older game took a larger subject for its educational ambitions: the whole of the United States of America.</p> <p>Of course, that whole was a lot smaller back in 1822, the year after Missouri became the 24th state. <a href="https://www.loc.gov/resource/g3701a.ct011568r/?r=0.379,-0.031,0.579,0.261,0"><em>Travellers’ Tour Through the United States</em></a> presents its two-to-four players with the task of traversing the young country, beginning in Washington and ending in New Orleans. This is done by spinning something called a “teetotum,” a kind of hybrid between a top and a die, designed to hedge against the sinful associations of gambling. The player then moves ahead according to the distance shown on the teetotum, but must name the unlabeled city on which they’ve landed — and, in a more challenging variation, guess its population — in order to remain there.</p> <div class="oc-center-da"> <div data-fuse="22871471544"></div> </div> <p>As they move their pieces across the country, players can also read the included descriptions of each city, town, and region through which they pass. “Promoting the value of education, the game highlights institutions of learning,” <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/what-americas-first-board-game-tells-us-about-the-aspirations-of-a-young-nation-180984338/" rel="nofollow">writes Smithsonian.com’s Matthew Wynn Sivils</a>. “Philadelphia’s ‘literary and benevolent institutions are numerous and respectable.’ Providence boasts ‘<a href="https://www.brown.edu/">Brown University</a>, a respectable literary institution.’ ” Making their way south, “players learn about Richmond’s ‘fertile backcountry’ and the ‘polished manners and unaffected hospitality’ of the citizens of Charleston. Savannah ‘contains many splendid edifices’ and Columbia’s ‘South Carolina College … bids fair to be a valuable institution.’ ”</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1119287 native-lazyload-js-fallback" src="https://www.openculture.com/wp-content/plugins/native-lazyload/assets/images/placeholder.svg" alt width="1992" height="1486" loading="lazy" data-src="https://cdn8.openculture.com/2024/09/02221055/Screenshot-2024-09-02-at-12.17.16%E2%80%AFPM.png" data-srcset="https://cdn8.openculture.com/2024/09/02221055/Screenshot-2024-09-02-at-12.17.16%E2%80%AFPM.png 1992w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/2024/09/02221055/Screenshot-2024-09-02-at-12.17.16%E2%80%AFPM-360x269.png 360w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/2024/09/02221055/Screenshot-2024-09-02-at-12.17.16%E2%80%AFPM-1024x764.png 1024w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/2024/09/02221055/Screenshot-2024-09-02-at-12.17.16%E2%80%AFPM-240x179.png 240w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/2024/09/02221055/Screenshot-2024-09-02-at-12.17.16%E2%80%AFPM-768x573.png 768w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/2024/09/02221055/Screenshot-2024-09-02-at-12.17.16%E2%80%AFPM-1536x1146.png 1536w" data-sizes="(max-width: 1992px) 100vw, 1992px"><noscript><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1119287" src="https://cdn8.openculture.com/2024/09/02221055/Screenshot-2024-09-02-at-12.17.16%E2%80%AFPM.png" alt width="1992" height="1486" srcset="https://cdn8.openculture.com/2024/09/02221055/Screenshot-2024-09-02-at-12.17.16%E2%80%AFPM.png 1992w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/2024/09/02221055/Screenshot-2024-09-02-at-12.17.16%E2%80%AFPM-360x269.png 360w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/2024/09/02221055/Screenshot-2024-09-02-at-12.17.16%E2%80%AFPM-1024x764.png 1024w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/2024/09/02221055/Screenshot-2024-09-02-at-12.17.16%E2%80%AFPM-240x179.png 240w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/2024/09/02221055/Screenshot-2024-09-02-at-12.17.16%E2%80%AFPM-768x573.png 768w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/2024/09/02221055/Screenshot-2024-09-02-at-12.17.16%E2%80%AFPM-1536x1146.png 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1992px) 100vw, 1992px"></noscript></p> <p>As clear-eyed descriptions of the United States in the early nineteenth century, these fall somewhat short of <a href="https://amzn.to/3TeXO9v">Tocqueville</a> — but then, they were written almost a decade before <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_in_America">Alexis de Tocqueville set foot in America</a>.

The second person, with its main subject of neither “I” nor “he” or “she” but “you,” is considerably harder to come by, and the writers who take it up tend to be experimenters (like <a href="https://themillions.com/2010/07/no-more-lying-a-primer-on-the-novels-of-b-s-johnson.html">B. S. Johnson</a> or <a href="https://www.booksoncities.com/p/georges-perec-lieux-2022">Georges Perec</a>) or brazen in some other sense (like the Jay McInerney of <a href="https://amzn.to/4cXxmIM"><em>Bright Lights, Big City</em></a>). But if you grew up in the America of the nineteen-eighties or nineties, there’s a decent chance you absorbed a mega-dose of second-person narrative without even realizing it. It would have come in the form of Choose Your Own Adventure books, with that tantalizing promise on their covers: “YOU’RE THE STAR OF THE STORY!”</p> <p>You can hear the story of Choose Your Own Adventure books themselves told in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-f5YelgmMs">the Galaxy Media Video</a> at the top of the post — or, with greater homage paid to the branching-text form, in <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/09/19/the-enduring-allure-of-choose-your-own-adventure-books">this recent <em>New Yorker</em> piece by Leslie Jamison.</a> Reading a “Choose book,” she writes, “you got to imagine that you were getting into trouble in outer space, or in the future, or under the sea. You got to make choices every few pages: Do you ask the ghost about her intentions, or run away? Do you rebel against the alien overlords, or blindly obey them?”</p> <div class="oc-center-da"> <div data-fuse="22871471544"></div> </div> <p>The second-person voice gave these books a bracing immediacy, but their real appeal lay, of course, in the choices they offered, and even more so in the consequences: sometimes glory, sometimes death, and more often a fate unsettlingly in between.</p> <div class="oc-video-wrapper"> <div class="oc-video-container"> <span class="youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="505" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/FzonWQ7AEZ8?wmode=transparent&fs=1&hl=en&showsearch=0&rel=0&theme=dark" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></span> </div> <p>  </p></div> <p></p> <p>The concept from which Choose Your Own Adventure books evolved was first conceived in the seventies by Edward Packard, a lawyer with a habit of consulting his children about what should happen next in their bedtime stories. His name will sound familiar indeed to anyone who lived a Choose books-laden childhood. He wrote the very first volume, <a href="https://amzn.to/3zJrAw8"><em>The Cave of Time</em></a> from 1979, as well as many that followed, including such memorably frightening or bizarre early issues as <a href="https://amzn.to/466BRON"><em>The Mystery of Chimney Rock</em></a>, with its perilous haunted house, and <a href="https://amzn.to/3Wk7jpM"><em>Inside UFO 54–40</em></a>, which offered a glimpse of paradise only to readers who “cheated” by ignoring its fixed decision paths.</p> <div class="oc-video-wrapper"> <div class="oc-video-container"> <span class="youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="505" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Xcw8TzazVm8?wmode=transparent&fs=1&hl=en&showsearch=0&rel=0&theme=dark" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></span> </div> <p>  </p></div> <p></p> <p>Back in the early nineties, when I was combing second-hand shops for Choose Your Own Adventure books, I quickly came to prefer the volumes from the late seventies and early eighties, with their exotically passé aesthetics and their relatively unsanitized content. In <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xcw8TzazVm8">the video just above</a>, writer-Youtuber Jason Arnopp looks at <em>The Mystery of Chimney Rock</em> and the later <a href="https://amzn.to/3zJrRza"><em>The Horror of High Ridge</em></a>, whose illustrations of murderous Old West apparitions (none of whom have any regard for the lives of the wholesome-looking, sweater-clad teens at the center of the story) have stuck with me to this day. Adulthood has turned out to involve no confrontations with bloodthirsty ghosts wielding tomahawks and hot pokers. Nevertheless, Choose Your Own Adventure books taught generations of us the important lesson that there’s no such thing as a clear-cut decision; you’ve just got to turn the page and hope for the best.</p> <p><strong>Related content:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.openculture.com/2023/05/the-100-greatest-childrens-books-of-all-time-according-to-177-books-experts.html">The 100 Greatest Children’s Books of All Time, According to 177 Books Experts from 56 Countries</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.openculture.com/2020/03/digital-archives-give-you-free-access-thousands-of-historical-childrens-books.html">Digital Archives Give You Free Access to Thousands of Historical Children’s Books</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.openculture.com/2022/09/enter-an-archive-of-7000-historical-childrens-books-all-digitized-free-to-read-online.html">Enter an Archive of 7,000 Historical Children’s Books, All Digitized & Free to Read Online</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.openculture.com/2022/09/enter-an-archive-of-7000-historical-childrens-books-all-digitized-free-to-read-online.html">Play The <em>Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy</em> Video Game Free Online, Designed by Douglas Adams in 1984</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.openculture.com/2022/02/starship-titanic.html"><em>Starship Titanic</em>: The Video Game Created by Douglas Adams (<em>Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy</em>), with Help from John Cleese & Terry Jones</a></p> <p><em>Based in Seoul, </em><em><a href="http://blog.colinmarshall.org/">Colin</a></em><em><a href="http://blog.colinmarshall.org/"> M</a></em><em><a href="http://blog.colinmarshall.org/">a</a></em><em><a href="http://blog.colinmarshall.org/">rshall</a> writes and broadcas</em><em>ts on cities, language, and culture.

Partner pairs were seated in separate rooms, accessible to each other by microphones. The teacher read the learner a list of matched words they’d expected to remember shortly thereafter. If the learner flubbed up, the teacher was to administer an electric shock via a series of labelled switches, upping it by 15-volts for each successive error. The microphones ensured that the teacher was privy to the learner’s increasingly distressed reactions — screams, desperate protestation, and — at the highest voltage — radio silence.</p> <div class="oc-center-da"> <div data-fuse="22871471544"></div> </div> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaaqNrm-K9c">Should a teacher hesitate</a>, they’d be reminded that the parameters of the experiment, for which they were earning $4.50, required them to continue. They also received reassurance that the painful shocks caused no permanent tissue damage.</p> <p>Here’s the thing:</p> <p>The teachers were innocent as to the experiment’s true nature. They thought the study’s focus was punishment’s effect on learning ability, but in fact, Milgram was studying the limits of obedience to authority.</p> <p>The learners were all in on the ruse. They received no shocks. Their responses were all feigned.</p> <p>If our eyes don’t deceive us, the Milgram experiment that the AI imagines is even more extreme than the original.

Titanic was a monstrously pretty sight as it lay beached like a silver Arcturan Megavoidwhale among the laserlit tracery of its construction gantries”–writes Douglas Adams in <a href="https://amzn.to/3JYHEtP"><em>The Life, The Universe and Everything</em></a>, the third novel in the <a href="https://amzn.to/3IfAW1U"><em>Hitchhiker’s Guide</em> trilogy</a>–“a brilliant cloud of pins and needles of light against the deep interstellar blackness; but when launched, it did not even manage to complete its very first radio message —an SOS—before undergoing a sudden and gratuitous total existence failure.”</p> <p>This paragraph is a tiny humorous flourish in a series of novels filled with hundreds of them, but for some reason—possibly its relationship to the original doomed luxury liner–the <em>Starship Titanic</em> would go on to have an amazingly detailed second life as a video game. And while a paperback copy of any of Adams’ work is readily available, it can take some hunting to find a workable version of the game.</p> <div class="oc-center-da"> <div data-fuse="22871471544"></div> </div> <p>Douglas Adams designed the game himself, starting in 1996. A decade earlier, he had helped design <a href="https://www.openculture.com/2015/09/play-the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy-video-game-free-online-designed-by-douglas-adams-in-1984.html">the text-based adventure game adaptation of <em>Hitchhiker’s Guide</em></a>, and had expressed a desire to do more work in the video game field, after playing <em>Myst</em> and its sequel <em>Riven</em>. However, he said, “nothing really happens, and nobody is there. I thought, let’s do something similar but populate the environment with characters you can interact with.”</p> <div class="oc-video-wrapper"> <div class="oc-video-container"> <span class="youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="505" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ekE_lZckBOQ?wmode=transparent&fs=1&hl=en&showsearch=0&rel=0&theme=dark" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></span> </div> <p>  </p></div> <p></p> <p>Co-founding the multi-media company Digital Village, Adams wrote the game’s script, set aboard the failing <em>Titanic</em>. The big difference, compared to Myst, is that the character can interact with characters on board, many of them butler-like robots. And instead of typing in commands, players could speak to the characters in real time using a natural language parsing engine called Spookitalk, utilizing over 10,000 lines/16 hours of dialog. Like its puzzle-game influences, it was maddening to play.</p> <div class="oc-video-wrapper"> <div class="oc-video-container"> <span class="youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="505" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/_sB24zOcV_Q?wmode=transparent&fs=1&hl=en&showsearch=0&rel=0&theme=dark" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></span> </div> <p>  </p></div> <p></p> <p>But also fun, as <em>Monty Python</em>’s Terry Jones and John Cleese both turn up among the voice actors, the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekE_lZckBOQ">former as a parrot</a>, the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sB24zOcV_Q">latter as a doomsday bomb</a>.</p> <p><a href="https://kotaku.com/the-secret-douglas-adams-rpg-people-have-been-playing-f-1681986562">An article in <em>Kotaku</em> from 2015</a> mentions a tie-in novel that Adams was to write himself, after first assigning co-writers Neil Richards, Debbie Barham, and Michael Bywater to the task. But then:</p> <blockquote><p>Living up to his reputation for seemingly infinite tardiness, Adams admitted just three weeks before the book’s deadline that he hadn’t written a thing, and in the end the novel <a href="https://amzn.to/3pdRlMO">Douglas Adams’s Starship Titanic</a> was written in a furious cascade of words by none other than Terry Jones (who claimed that he wrote the whole thing in the nude).</p></blockquote> <p>Even more interesting, Yoz Grahame, Digital Village’s web developer had been put in charge of creating the game’s promotional web presence. Buried deep down in a page was a mock forum supposedly being written by the lower-level crew of the <em>Titanic</em>. Grahame kept the forum open for fans of the upcoming game, only to find later that Adams fans had taken this comic easter egg to heart. Six months later there were ten-thousand posts in the mock forum. Users had continued on the story in the spirit of Adams.</p> <p>“It was like ignoring the vegetable drawer of your fridge for a year, then opening it to find a bunch of very grateful sentient tomatoes busily working on their third opera,” Grahame told <em>Kotaku</em>. This forum went on for six years, with layers and layers of running jokes.</p> <p>At the time of the <em>Kotaku</em> piece, the game, originally released on CD-ROM was functionally unplayable on modern video game systems.</p> <p>Not so now. Six bucks will buy you a modernized copy of the game on <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/467290/Starship_Titanic/">Steam</a> or <a href="https://www.gog.com/en/game/starship_titanic">GOG</a>. If you’re curious like me, but have no time to devote the many, many hours to finishing the game, you can watch a 13-part walkthru video. (Note: Adams himself turns up <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ7MFbDU56s">at the very end</a> in an unintentionally poignant cameo.)</p> <p><a href="https://www.metafilter.com/194476/Very-grateful-sentient-tomatoes-busily-working-on-their-third-opera">via Metafilter</a></p> <p><strong>Related Content:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.openculture.com/2015/09/play-the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy-video-game-free-online-designed-by-douglas-adams-in-1984.html">Play The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Video Game Free Online, Designed by Douglas Adams in 1984</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.openculture.com/2020/05/hyperland.html">Hyperland: The “Fantasy Documentary” in Which Douglas Adams and Doctor Who‘s Tom Baker Imagine the World Wide Web (1990)</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.openculture.com/2015/05/italian-astronaut-reads-the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy-on-the-international-space-station.html">Italian Astronaut Reads The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy on the International Space Station</a></p> <p><em>Ted Mills is a freelance writer on the arts who currently hosts the <a href="https://anchor.fm/ted-mills9/">Notes from the Shed podcast</a> and is the producer of KCRW’s <a href="http://curious.kcrw.com/category/curious-coast">Curious Coast</a>.
