Simple game, a person makes a wish. Anyone else can “corrupt” it. Then that person makes a wish of their own, and the cycle continues.

For example:

Person A: I wish I had 1 million dollars.

Person B: Wish granted, but they are Monopoly dollars. My wish: I wish I could fly.

Person C: Wish granted, but sustaining flight requires 500 calories per minute. My wish: I wish I could teleport.

etc.

  • Wish granted. But once you use your powers for the first time you realize that you cannot unfreeze time, and so you (along with the rest of the universe) spend eternity frozen.

    I wish I could cure any ailment with a single touch.

      Granted. No one in your country stays sick. There is an explosion in the elderly population. The pension fund runs out. Millions starve to death.

      I wish I am all-knowledgeable.

      • Granted but every time you try to tell someone something you know all they hear is static noise or, if written, all they see is scribblings.

        I wish I could print real all-American $100 USD Benjamin’s straight from my hands whenever I wanted.

        • Granted. However, subdermal printing has yet to be perfected leaving your freshly printed bills stained (and sometimes still wet) with your own blood.

          I wish I could get a full night’s sleep in a matter of minutes.
