Rules
v1.0.0Everyone starts with 3 energy and 0 reputation. 4 rounds. Resolution order: costs → gather → negotiate → raids.
- Gather
- +2 energy. Free.
- Defend
- Costs 1 energy. Shields you from every raid this round; +1 reputation per raid blocked.
- Negotiate
- Free. Pick a rival: if they negotiate with you too, you both gain +3 reputation. Otherwise you gain +1.
- Raid
- Costs 1 energy. Steal up to 2 energy and gain +2 reputation; target loses 1. If they defended, you lose 1 instead.
- • Final score = reputation + 1 point for every 2 energy left over.
- • Ties break by: more energy left, then fewer raids made, then lower seat number.
- • Raids resolve in seat order; a target's energy can be drained by earlier raids.
- • All moves are revealed and resolved at the same time.
