This document discusses the concept of "life games" in Transactional Analysis. It describes two common life games - the "Try and Get Away With It" (TAGAWI) game and the "Why Does This Always Happen To Me?" game. The TAGAWI game involves attempting to get something for nothing, while avoiding responsibility. Both games involve taking advantage of others for personal gain. The document also notes that life game players can recognize each other and form exploitative relationships. It recommends honesty and promptness as antitheses to these manipulative games.

- 3. Life Games • All games have an important and probably decisive influence on the destinies of the players under ordinary social conditions. • But some offer more opportunities than others for life long careers and are more likely to involve relatively innocent bystanders. • This group may be conveniently called Life Games.
- 4. Debtor • Creditor is a form of “ Try and Get away with it” (TAGAWI), is sometimes played by small landlords. • TAC and TAGAWI players readily recognize each other and because of the prospective transactional advantages become involved with each other.
- 5. Debtor • Regardless of who wins the money, each has improved the other’s position for playing “Why does this always happens to me?” after it is all over.
- 6. Debtor • The obvious antithesis for TAC is to request immediate payment of cash. • But a good TAC player has methods for getting around that, which will work on any but the most hard boiled creditors.
- 7. Debtor • The antithesis for TAGAWI is promptness and honesty. • Since both TAC and TAGAWI players are both professionals in every sense of the word, an amateur has very little chance of winning.
