Chardee MacDennis: The Game of Games
Criminal Activities
Assault
Threatening another with imminent physical harm or displaying a weapon in a manner that puts others in reasonable fear of harm; in many jurisdictions brandishing a firearm or threatening violence is a criminal offense.
Situation:
"While Frank Reynolds is confined in the kennel as the game's jail punishment, the other players force him to eat the ingredients of a cake one-by-one (he gags and retches), a nonconsensual act that causes physical harm and distress."
False Imprisonment
False imprisonment is the unlawful restraint of a person's freedom of movement without their consent or legal authority to do so. It includes confinement in a locked room or other space when the confined person cannot leave.
Situation:
"A player (Frank Reynolds) is put into the game's "jail," which is a dog kennel, and confined there as part of the game. While confined he is unable to leave and is forced to remain in the kennel during the punishment sequence."
Theft
Unauthorized taking and consumption of another person's personal property (petty theft/larceny): intentionally taking possession of property belonging to someone else without that person's consent.
Situation:
"A Chance card instructs a player to "take the money from everyone's pockets." Frank attempts to seize money from the other players' pockets and demands they hand over cash during the game (he pressures teammates to give him their money)."
