This will test how far you would go for a team while at the same time how far you will go for yourself.
For those who ask a kong is another way to say bean.
In Kong’s dilemma, you must use more kongs for your team to win, and you must use less kongs for an individual win.
Firstly, you will be randomly divided into 2 teams (red and white teams) of 3 players each. The game consists of 5 rounds. When one team gets 3 wins, the game ends. All of you will have a personal stash which will have 10 white kongs for the white team per person, and 10 red kongs for the red team per person. You are only allowed access to your own stash of kongs.
During each round, each individual will have 10 minutes to mail me, how many of their remaining kongs (10 initially) they wish to place into a jar to help their team. There is no limit to how many kongs you may put in at once. During the 10 minutes, you can discuss with your team a team plan of attack. The team that puts in a higher amount of kongs into the jar in a round will win the round and gain a point. Whenever a round ends, only the number of kongs used by the LOSING team is revealed. The winning team’s number is not revealed. When one team wins 3 rounds, the game ends and the player from the winning team with the most kongs left in their stash is the winner. Players from the winning team will receive 1 garnet for every kong they have remaining. Conversely, the player from the losing team with the least kongs remaining will be the elimination candidate.
This game will leave you all with a dilemma. For your team to win you must put in many kongs but doing so may make you the elimination candidate if your team loses.
For this match, if someone is not present or does not send a mail in time, their kongs WILL STILL BE USED. It will be done as follows. For that player you will take the number of kongs remaining in that player’s stash, divide it by the number of rounds remaining and you will use that number of kongs automatically. If the final number has a remainder, then we will round that number UP.
If there is a sole winner, they will receive 2 tokens of life, one of which must be given away to anyone but the Elimination Candidate. If multiple people on the winning team tie for most kongs remaining then all those tied will receive a Token of Life.
Any questions?
