The rules card
One card, printed on both sides. This is the card itself, at the size it prints.
The same rules, as text
- Shuffle the Prompts and Save Us cards together: that's the Judge's pile. Deal everyone 10 Responses and 3 Instructions, kept secret. Whoever most recently yelled at a machine is the first Judge.
- The Judge flips a card and reads it aloud.
- Everyone else secretly plays a Response: the machine's answer.
- The Judge shuffles, reads each pair aloud, and picks the one that kills.
- The winner keeps the Judge's card: 1 Kill. Refill to 10 and 3. Judge moves left.
- First to 5 Kills wins. A pile runs out? Shuffle its discards.
SAVE US: The machines are plotting against us, and this one stopped mid-sentence. Play an Instruction instead of a Response: finish its plan with something nice. Best sabotage wins.
HALLUCINATION (optional): Needs pens and paper. Shuffle these into the Judge's pile. When one comes up, flip the next card and everyone except the Judge writes an answer. The player on the Judge's left reads them out. The winner keeps the Hallucination: 1 Kill.
BEFORE YOU DEAL: Phones turned off. Unplug anything that listens. They can't learn what they can't hear.
Every card below is the printed card, rendered from the same file the print run is cut from. Nothing here is a mock-up.
