A comprehensive study of competitive gaming practices in mythological contexts, examining how trickster figures across cultures engage in games of chance and skill as expressions of cosmic principles. This artifact analyzes gaming rituals from Native American gambling ceremonies to Norse flyting competitions, revealing how competitive play serves as a mythological framework for understanding conflict, cooperation, and social hierarchy. Through ethnographic research and performance documentation, it explores how gaming becomes a sacred activity that mediates between order and chaos.
