Shell

Rules:
-Each team is dealt a hand of four cards. Each card has a point value between 1 and 10 and an attack.

-Each team will pick one card to play, and their first, second, and third choice of which team for the card to be played on.

-There is a 12 point limit on what cards will actually be accepted. Cards with higher values will be accepted first. After 12, the only cards that will be accepted are one with a matching point value. (e.g. if the highest card submitted is an 8, it will be accepted. If the next highest card submitted is a 7, and three 7s are submitted, all 7s will be accepted, but nothing lower than a 7 will be accepted).

-Only cards which are accepted will have their attacks carried out.

-Teams that have their cards accepted are protected from the attacks of other teams. If a team's first choice is protected, the card goes to their second choice.

-Teams whose cards go through also will not have to participate in subsequent rounds.

[You find that once the robot has moved away you cannot see or hear the other teams.

Your robot hands you four large, heavy stock cardboard cards, each with a point value and attack on it. You also get a black card, and a sharpie to write your choices on.]

We can't protect ourselves with that one!

How about uhm the four?

"Unable to fight back" seems a little ominous, but I suppose it's not like we're going to attack them...

Uh huh!

Unable to fight back is terrible. What if they ran into March? The ear . . . i-it's only a small injury . . .

But there're at least three more cards that can beat it. Do you really think that all the other teams are going to hold back?

Some of them will!

What does Mint think we should do?

You want to play the high card . . . don't you?

I think we should make certain our card is accepted, yeah.

We are not killing another team!

What if it doesn't hit the team we want! We have to pick three!

Byzantium. Fawn. Copper Rose. The end.

Are you even listening? We can't murder an entire team!

I don't want to kill anyone either. It's a whole team.

No killing!

So we're supposed to die instead? Seriously, do you really think any of those other team's are gonna be that generous?

Yes!

. . . No.

...

See?

I can't believe all of you! Who do you even think would do that to us? Celeste isn't going to attack us right now.

Don't you remember what happened with Lilac?

Someone will get hurt...

That was different. Nobody had a choice back then—it was kill or die. Right now, people can choose to hold back. We can choose to hold back!
