Invented Card Games This section of the card games site is devoted to new games played with existing cards. The idea is to provide a forum for card game inventors to publish their ideas, and to try out and comment on each other's games. Traditional card games will not be found here, but in the main body of the site (see for example the alphabetical index). New games which require a special pack of cards designed for that game, which you have to buy from the publisher, will also not be found here. They are listed on the Commercial Games page. Most of the games on this page have been contributed by their inventors. If you would like to contribute a game of your own to this page, or publish a comment, variation or improvement on one of the games here, you can send me your contribution by e-mail. The games are at present listed in alphabetical order (with numbers at the end). Aardvark Game [archive copy] A game for friends, created by James Quin, Adam Tilghman, Luke Weisman and Renée Sharp.

The Improbability of God The Improbability of God by Richard Dawkins from Free Inquiry, Volume 18, Number 3. Much of what people do is done in the name of God. Irishmen blow each other up in his name. Arabs blow themselves up in his name. Why do people believe in God? So ran Paley's argument, and it is an argument that nearly all thoughtful and sensitive people discover for themselves at some stage in their childhood. What do all objects that look as if they must have had a designer have in common? This is not a circular argument, by the way. Of all the trillions of different ways of putting together the atoms of a telescope, only a minority would actually work in some useful way. We can safely conclude that living bodies are billions of times too complicated -- too statistically improbable -- to have come into being by sheer chance. For instance, it is theoretically possible for an eye to spring into being, in a single lucky step, from nothing: from bare skin, let's say. Return to Top
Espionage Chasing Game Espionage requires at least two (possibly more) teams of three people each, plus at least one referee. The most unusual part of the game is that the players don't know which team they are on. Teams change with each round. The game is traditionally played at night in a home and the surrounding yard. When a round starts, one or more kids are chosen to be the referees (which can be more fun than being on the teams). Each team has three roles. The mate knows two locations, the meeting place and the goal, but not which is which. The yeoman knows an object (the totem), the password, and the jail(s) of the other team(s). The purpose of the game is to get the totem to the goal. This is a game with many opportunities for winning by deluding the other team into thinking you are part of their team. This is supposed to have created by a secret society with threats to prevent members from telling.

January 1, 2015. Preface For over a decade I have taught an introductory, undergraduate class, "Einstein for Everyone," at the University of Pittsburgh to anyone interested enough to walk through door. With each new offering of the course, I had the chance to find out what content worked and which of my ever so clever pedagogical inventions were failures. At the same time, my lecture notes have evolved. Its content reflects the fact that my interest lies in history and philosophy of science and that I teach in a Department of History and Philosophy of Science. This text owes a lot to many. i i i
