Field notes
The homepage gives approximate play times for all three games: about 10 minutes for the autocrat scenario, 5 for the ten-choice self-test, and 20 for the bestseller plot. It says the historical habits and choices are real, while the bestseller game builds its comedy around test readers, rent, reviews, Hollywood, and family reactions. The page also explains its name through Till Eulenspiegel, a prankster who tricks a court into pretending to admire a blank wall.
