Actually, "Slack" is a crucial concept in
a game from Steve Jackson
called "Chez Geek." It's a traditional card
game (which means it's
not a trading card game, like Magic) about the long-suffering
lives we
geeks live. The game rules describer how to survive
living in an
apartment with roommates, while doing your best to achieve
your goals:
"watch TV, sleep, get nookie, and try to earn enough
SLACK to overcome
the stress of your job."
We know Steve Jackson is a SubGenius, and this proves
it even more: he
publishes a game that tricks us into paying money for
a card game that
simulates what we do in REAL LIFE. Talk about Slack!
