Introduction

The Game Pentagon analyses games from the external point of view, rather than an internal intrapsychic point of view.  It offers a model of games being played consciously and unconsciously, and connects the roles of an unfolding social event with the underlying dynamics and with the roles and switches in a game.  
 
There are five roles on The Pentagon:

• The Stage Manager 
  
• The Spectator
  
• The Sniper
  
• The Saviour
  
• The Scapegoat.

Prior knowledge of The Drama Triangle would be helpful for this tutorial.
