Can I add "you lost the Game" to the article?
No. Consensus has determined repeatedly on this page that adding wording indicating the reader has lost the Game is inappropriate for an encyclopedia. Keep in mind that Wikipedia strives to be an authoritative source for information, and thus must have a formal tone in all of its articles. Adding the phrasing "you lost the game," even if meant to be in good fun, detracts from the quality of the article for this reason. (But still, you lost the game.)
I have a new set of rules for the Game that I want to add to the article.
If you made it up yourself, please don't add it. Wikipedia is not for things made up one day, and all additions should have been reported on elsewhere.
If you have found it elsewhere, please ensure that you cite a reliable source supporting whatever new set of rules you would like to add. The rule/rules you add need to have been reported on in at least one reliable work, preferably two or more. Otherwise, your addition will likely be deleted.
