1.  The playing field: RMV or DMV
2.  Objective: obtain replacement drivers license
3.  Number of players 3
     you, customer service representative, clerk
4.  Game play
     Enter the playing field, advance to the customer service representative.  If you have a clear idea of what it takes to move past the rep, you will only need to inform the rep which form you need to fill out.  If you do not know how to obtain your goal, you must ask the rep what you need.  Your first hope is to clearly identify your situation to the rep.  Your last hope is that the rep is in a good mood.   
     Once you obtain the proper paperwork, fill it out, and go back to the rep.  If they accept your paperwork, you will be given a number.  This is the occasion when you will be allowed to enter the main body of the playing field amongst other players.  Keep in mind, these players are NOT participating in your game.  They are playing their own game. 
     Watch the number screen to monitor your status in the game, or wait until you hear your number to avoid anxiety.  When your number is called, that is when you will be allowed to advance to the final stage of the playing field. 
     Advance to the clerk's window.  Present your paperwork.  If there is a problem with your paperwork, you may be asked to go back to the rep.  This is a serious setback.  If your paperwork has been filled out properly, the clerk will check the computer, for for reasons to dismiss you from the game.  If the clerk presents information regarding unpaid government fees, suspended license status, or warrants for arrest, you will be thrown out of the game, unless you can present "money" to settle those situations.  If everything checks out, you will be asked to use your "money" to pay the fee required to obtain your replacement license.  If you can accomplish this, you will be issued your license.  This is in effect the end of the game, even before you exit the playing field.
5.  Deciding the winner.
     You win as long as you exit the playing field with your replacement license.  Or you can determine your success by having the fewest minutes spent on the playing field, or leaving the playing field with the largest percentage of the the "money" you brought to the playing field.
