OVERVIEW OF ELEUSIS

Eleusis is a game of induction. This means you will hypothesis, test and observe the outcomes of your plays and other players’ plays to determine the correct rule of play. 

In each game, there will be a “god” AKA the dealer who will secretly come up with a rule for playing your cards. This rule can be anything they want as long as all cards are legal to play at some point. 

The remaining players will then try to play cards from their hands to determine the legal rule of play through experimentation and observation. A player who believes they know the rule may declare themselves a prophet and take over the duties of god but if they answer incorrectly, they are outcasted and become a normal player again.

SETUP

The dealer will first determine the rule(s) for the round. They can be almost anything some easy examples are: Cards must alternate between red and black or cards must alternate between even and odd, but face values switch the order. The dealer wants to find a rule that’s the right balance between challenging without being impossible to figure out. The rules will then be written down on the paper and hidden from other players. 

The dealer will then shuffle the cards and deal each player 14 cards. The remaining cards are for the dealer to use, though it is not counted as their hand. The dealer will pull from the top of the remaining deck till they find a card(s) that are legal to play and will start the game with those. Any illegal cards drawn this way will be placed at the bottom of the deck.

The first player should be chosen randomly.

GAMEPLAY

The game is complex in concept but simple in play. On each player’s turn, they will attempt to discard a card(s) to play it. They will play this card to the side of the last legal card played. God will then say if it is a legal play or not. If it is it will remain in the legal main sequence of play and the next player may go, but if it is incorrect then the card is moved to a sideline of incorrect cards it should be played under the last legal card played and all cards must be kept in order of play. A god token will be placed on every tenth card that has been played regardless if it’s correct or not. 

Strings and Penalties

Players may play strings of cards they believe to be correct. If you do this your cards will all be played slightly overlapping to indicate a string. If God determines if any of your cards are illegal the whole string is invalidated and removed to the sidelines. God will not tell you which card you got incorrect only that something is wrong. You will be able to tell how many incorrect cards you played though. 스포츠토토

Each incorrectly played card results in a player getting two additional cards to their hand. 

No Cards to Play

A player may also declare that they have no legal cards to play. If they do this their hand will be revealed to the table and god may determine if the declaration is true. If it is and the have 4 or fewer cards their cards are returned to the deck and the game has come to an end. If they are correct but have 5 or more cards in hand their cards are placed in the deck and they are given a replacement hand with 4 fewer cards in it.
