RATATOSKR

[You step into a very comfy, cozy room! A log fire is burning in the hearth, protected by a metal grate patterned with silver rose briars. In the center of the room is a glass table, surrounded by comfy chairs and couches in your team’s color. There is a window, but it’s completely fogged over . . . from the outside.

At the start of the game you’ll find the following items on top of the table:

- a sealed envelope labelled “Instructions.”
- a large glass orb containing 15 team-colored gems. This is in the very center of the table, and cannot be moved, broken, or tampered with in any way. A plaque at the bottom reads “Bank.”
- 6 indestructible cards, currently blank.
- 3 grooves in the glass, each just the right size for you to slot one of those cards into.]

Each team starts with a hand of six cards and 15 points in the bank. At the start of each subsequent round, three new cards will be added to the teams’ hands.

Cards have a point value of between 1 and 10.

Teams may play no less than 1 but no more than 3 cards per round. Each card must target a different team, unless it is Paired. If a team refuses to play, two cards will be randomly selected from their hand and played against them.

Cards only affect one person unless explicitly stated otherwise. Effects will last at least until endgame unless explicitly stated otherwise.

If two teams target each other with Attack Cards in the same round, both cards are negated. You cannot target the same team twice in a row.

There are 3 types of cards!
Defense Cards
Attack Cards - Successful attacks are how you earn points!
Paired Cards - Cards of this type can only be played alongside another Attack Card.

Once per round, a team may also:
Discard their hand and draw six cards from the deck. (5 points)
Buy a lottery ticket. (3 points)
Buy a shield that protects them from all damage for one round. (25 points)

[If you need Nyssa's attention, HOLLA HERE.]

Bank: 15
Hand:
SPIRIT. (5) Sudden and inexplicable transformation into some animal or creature.

RIBBIT. (1) The irresistible urge to ribbit like a frog after every third word.

DIFFUSE. [PAIRED.] (x2 point value of the Attack Card.) Costs 3 points to play; can only be played in conjunction with another Attack Card. This card diffuses an attack between all members of the targeted team.

SILENCE. (4) Speak no evil. Or anything at all — those afflicted with Silence cannot make a sound.

OVERCHARGE. (4) Hypersensitivity to touch.

MINI. (5) Suddenly and inexplicably 60cm tall.

[Copypaste the whole card (including title, points value, and effect!) here, along with who you're targeting!]

[im gonna regret playing two idiots in this game]

Hmm....

[looking over the cards]

...Hmm, some of these could be worse...

What do you think we should start with?

I'm liking the sound of Silence.

[chuckles at her own stupid joke]

Heh, Silence sounds good. I have a friend back home who doesn't talk, and she does pretty well, as far as I remember. She just writes when she needs to say something. So it wouldn't be too bad.

We could also pair Mini and Diffuse, I was kind of thinking.

[....Fuck. If this doesn't remind him of his first game. But less lethal. Or so it looks.]

Mini paired with Diffuse and Silence played solo. All against Amalthea. Sound good?
