Explore the cards
Responsibility cards, changing scenarios and six roles bring different AI decisions to the table.
Scenario cards
Ten scenario designs introduce different challenges, with influence requirements, a named responsibility bonus, an Agile focus and a penalty condition.
Six perspectives
Keep one role throughout the game. Each role has its own influence modifiers, Agile bonus and Company Culture bonus.
Shadow AI
Shadow AI introduces ways to swap cards, steal a responsibility or defend against a steal.
Instructions and scoring
Detailed how-to-play guidelines are available in the box. The scoring sheet records Game Points across six rounds.
Artwork is shown in English. The print files do not establish the number of physical copies of each card or the language options supplied per deck.
How a game unfolds
Play with open hands, respond to the scenario and compare your priorities with the other roles.
Choose your role
Choose a role and keep it face up for all six rounds. Its influence modifiers shape your decisions throughout the game.
Set the challenge
Shuffle the ten scenarios and reveal the first. Shuffle Responsibility and Shadow AI cards together, then deal five cards face up to each player.
Take three turns
Players take three turns each per round, clockwise. Swap a responsibility, use Shadow AI or pass. A player can defend in response to a steal.
Record and continue
Record Game Points after each round. Use a new scenario each round, setting played scenarios aside. The highest total after six rounds wins.
This is an overview of play. Refer to the printed instructions for the full rules.
