A group of detainees were put on a plane and told they were going to Canada. They were deported to Syria.
The Game is the ultimate piece of art, capable of incorporating all forms of art and expression known to humanity, expressed using all forms of technology, from the ancient to the bleeding edge, without compromising its identity as a game.
