Meaning of Nomic | Babel Free

Noun CEFR B1

Definitions

A game, intended to model certain aspects of legal systems, in which players take turns by modifying the game's rules.

Examples

“This is not to say that nuanced, intermediate levels may not arise in Nomic through game custom and tacit understandings.”
“The game Nomic also has rules that change over time. But these games still have rules for how they're played...”
“Nomic, a "game of self-amendment," is most fundamentally characterized by its rule 213, 213. If the rules are changed so that further play is impossible, or if the legality of a move cannot be determined with finality, or if by the Judge's best reasoning, not overruled, a move appears equally legal and illegal, then the first player unable to complete a turn is the winner.”
