TA: game
(Berne's final definition) A series of transactions with a Con, a Gimmick, a Switch, and a Crossup, leading to a Payoff.*
(Joines's definition) The process of doing something with an ulterior motive that (1)
is outside of Adult awareness, (2) does not become
explicit until the participants switch the way they are behaving,
and (3) results in everyone feeling confused, misunderstood, and wanting to blame the
other person.*
