How it plays
Each round everyone places one piece, then runs the course, so the level grows into a shared joke of traps and betrayals.
If everyone reaches the flag nobody scores, which leads to plotting and laughter.
Newcomers may struggle with the platforming but can still score by building sneaky traps.
