A game that requires the constant conjuring of animosity.

Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

The description makes hostility something a game demands repeatedly, rather than something that simply arises. The word 'conjuring' suggests a feeling deliberately summoned into existence. Its compressed phrasing presents competition as an emotional performance requiring participants to keep producing antagonism.
