OrganicPoetry is a game for social transformation by bringing people together in a collaborative manner. While based on ideas in game theory, conflict resolution, social networking and control theory, the game is extremely simple, because the players make up the rules as they play.

It can be played by two or more people, but as the scale of participation changes, so must the rules. Also, new players can join in the game at any point, since there is really no fixed cycle it follows.

The basic idea is similar to Scrabble, however, in this case the players do not link letters together in a matrix to form words. In OrganicPoetry, different players add words from their vocabulary to string them in a network of sentences. You could do this in a two-dimensional or three dimensional matrix.
