System Collapse!
Welcome, traveller.
You're here because you've come across a mysterious pack of cards and you're wondering…
How to Play
Players: 2-5 | Time: 10-20 mins | Ages: 12+
Setup:
Remove all System Collapse cards and Workarounds from the deck
Deal 1 Workaround to each player
Deal 4 more cards to each player from the remaining deck
Shuffle the System Collapse cards back into the deck (use 1 fewer than the number of players)
Put remaining Workarounds back in the deck
Shuffle. You're ready.
On your turn:
Play as many action cards as you want (or none)
Draw one card from the deck - you MUST draw to finish your turn
If you draw a System Collapse:
Play a Workaround to survive → put the System Collapse back ANYWHERE in the deck (top, middle, bottom - your choice)
No Workaround? You're out.
Last player standing wins.
Guide to Card Types
System Collapse: Draw one and you're out. Unless you have a Workaround.
Workaround: Cancels a System Collapse. Then secretly put the System Collapse card back in the deck.
Action Cards: Play before you draw to mess with others or protect yourself.
Combo Cards: Collect pairs to unlock special powers.
System Collapse is a gift from Keel: the operations platform for companies who've seen things.
