About 5 years ago at the Society for Neuroscience conference, my pal and I dreamed up a similar game that we called Xyrth. It was more an unfolding story rather than a game, and you didn't fight other people. Instead, you advanced the cause of Xyrthans that you chose to side with.

It began by moving some cow-like creatures called Grazers to where they wanted to be. They would have had a song that you would have to sing back to them to win their trust.
