have a simple game with a few interacting rules drawn randomly from a larger set of interacting rules, and see who figures out how to take advantage of how the rules interact.

Sounds like a matrix IQ test...

BTW, have people in this thread played the Flash game "This Is The Only Level" http://armorgames.com/play/4309/ ?

What is a matrix IQ test?

I have played that. My idea is slightly similar, I think.

Something like the Raven matrices.

Ok. I just wasted 15 minutes on that game and got up to stage 13. That looks potentially addicting. How many stages are there?

About 30. Fun. Just finished. (16:21, 83 deaths) Edit: uhoh there's a 31. hmmm.

O. I can't get past 31. Is that a real level? If so, what does one do?
