The Game is a dice game designed by Reinhold Wittig. It was first published in Germany in 1979 under the German name Das Spiel.
It contains a triangular base plate and 281 dice of different colours, and a rule book that gives rules for some 50+ games. Most of the games are centered around building or demolishing pyramids of dice, but there are also racing games and games of skill. The game has been originally published by the Edition Perlhuhn (Reinhold Wittig), Göttingen, in 1979.
In his preface Wittig writes:
I've often been asked how you go about it to invent a game. I want to add one answer now. Is perhaps the best answer possible to show the many different ways of designing a game. The answer is also a challenge: Invent rules of your own to my dice pyramid.
The history of "The Game" began in 1979 with a small edition of the dice pyramid, without any rules. Today it has a large collection of rules. This is proof that many players are willing to take part in forming and creating a game.
