Inspired by The Irony of Fate, The Garage (Both directed by Eldar Ryzanov) and Prefab Story (Věra Chytilová) to make a socialist realist/dramatic irony-laden parlor larp about fighting for the nicest apartments.
It's done if you want to engage in a pointless emotional knife fight with your friends, awash in sad little secrets and impossibly frustrating twists of fate. This really puts the committee in committee larp. 2 hours or so, 3-8 participants. Hit me up, I don't know if it will work but I think so.
Characters are just five coupons you draw randomly, throw back any you don't like and draw again until you get someone you want to play.
Since you argue in minute detail over the actual spaces, I had to make floor plan handouts to accommodate every potential number of players (12 floor plans).

I played The Blue Way years a couple of times in 2019 and both of them were heartbreaking stories. I can only imagine how much @jmstar.bsky.social has improved it (read: made it more devastating) since then!

Reading more, this might mean "cloved food", or garlic. Which is slightly less weird I guess.
@lizziestark.bsky.social and I are wrapping up a game about vaudeville performers, and part of the warmup is spontaneously killing it with the most wretched jokes imaginable. Everyone else is required to give you a huge reaction, because your character is hilarious.
Old Ruthenian has a specific word (ґвоздиколюбець; gvozdikoljubecʹ) for someone who really likes their food spiced with cloves.
