softsports of sensual sorts is a participatory game that initially codes as a seductive mix of mini golf and croquet, yet, through gameplay, reveals themes of futility and a sense of humanity through its anticlimactic finish. Like the dating app, Tinder, one can only play if others do too. While it can be played as a game of one-on-one, it also has the adaptability to invite a third, or even accommodate group play. Due to the shape, size, and engagement of play, the sculptural equipment necessitates physical negotiation of body + object, and intimate conversation amongst players. Through the verbal navigation of other bodies, vulnerability of uncertain movements, playfulness, mediocrity, ball, holes, and plush fetish objects, the game slips in and out from croquet mini golf to alien sex orgy (which altogether kind of feels like dating strangers).
