Life Gets Curiouser and Curiouser


Three-sided football: A game of alliance and betrayal


It seems like a typical Sunday afternoon game of football, but there's a big difference - there are three teams on the pitch.  Deptford 3S Football Club is playing Philosophy Football FC and Strategic Optimists FC, at the same time.  This is the complex and curious game of three-sided football, an invention of Danish Situationist philosopher and artist Asger Jorn.  Played on a hexagonal pitch, the rules are similar to normal football, with one big exception: it's the team that concedes fewest goals that wins.
