Fight for shape representation as advocates with intersecting shapes. Play across multiple generations, starting with one built by ⭐️ bellied owls. Can you guide your hand of owl cards towards acceptance?
Each generation consists of about 4 games, and each game is made up of about 6 tricks. Each trick, players will either closet a card to remove it from their hand, or reveal a card. Revealed cards add to their shape’s visibility score, with shapes in parliament giving a bonus each trick. All cards of the winning shapes are ✅ accepted, and all other cards are ❌ rejected.
The player with the most accepted cards adds one to parliament as the winner, which will shape the rules and bonuses for future generations. What legacy will you leave behind in your fight for opacity?

You are two strangers, stuck in the same place. Could be worse though, you feel a bit of a spark! If you play your cards right, maybe they'll feel the same way you do. But hopefully they don't get the wrong idea... what if they're dangerous?
You start with a score sheet and an attraction card. The attraction card’s dark sidebar shows your feelings towards the other player:
💚 Platonic
🌸 Romantic
💋 Sexual
Over the game, you'll each secretly write down vibes you get from the other’s actions. At the end you'll add them all up, and if they match your attraction card, you win! Hopefully they win, too!
Just be careful not to lose too much control...
