What people write in about
Bringing the game into a course, lab, or workshop — including syllabus fit, group sizes, and grading rubrics.
Requests for printed card decks, custom branding for cohorts, or licensing for a publisher or accelerator.
Walkthroughs of the instructor dashboard, scheduled vs async sessions, and how to debrief a round.
Anything that broke, felt confusing, or you wish the simulation handled differently. Specifics help most.
Before you write
A lot of common questions are already answered in the rulebook and materials, so it is worth a quick look first:
- How to Play — round structure, card categories, and the win condition.
- Materials — slide deck, printable cards, and instructor guides.
- Demo — a no-signup playable round so you can see the mechanics first-hand.
- Formulas — the exact math used by the simulation, useful when defending a result to a class.
