Welcome Combatants!!
The Game will consist of 13 animals and four rounds.
The animals are ordered as such:
This is the structured food chain. Each animal will have special properties that will help with survival, however slight. The goal of the game is to ensure you fulfill your win conditions. Each animal may have different or contrasting winning conditions. One thing that each animal has in common is a main habitat.
There are four habitats in the game: Field, River, Sky, and Forest.
The main two aspects of the game are: moving and attacking.
Moving is very important. Each round, you will choose which habitat you want to move to. However, you are not allowed to be outside of your main habitat for more than one round. An example of this is the Eagle who has the Sky habitat. The Eagle can move like this:
Field -> Sky -> Forest -> Sky
or it can do something like this:
Sky -> Sky -> Sky -> River
Basically, it is impossible for you to be outside of your habitat for long. Conversely, you can stay in your main habitat the entire time! The safest habitat by far would be the Sky since most animals aren't allowed there. Why? Well, those animals can't rightly fly-- but that doesn't make them invulnerable to the next important aspect of the game.
Attacking. Firstly, you are only able to attack one animal each round per player. So if Lion and Crocodile attack and eat someone, that's fine. But the Lion can't eat two people in Round 1. Another important aspect of this is that the Food Chain is law! Someone on the lower side of the Food Chain cannot hurt those above it.
Lion -> Hyena = Hyena dies.
Eagle -> Crocodile = Nothing happens.
Otter -> Deer = Nothing happens.
The one exception is the Snake.
Any animal -> Snake = Any animal that attacks the Snake dies.
The only way to eat prey is to eat those on lower than you in the Food Chain. Thankfully, you don't die if you try attacking a predator. However, they can still attack you back if they haven't eaten yet so watch out!
There are two more rules I need to tell you. One is this -- You can only attack and eat animals that are in the same habitat as you. If only the Lion is waiting in the Field, the Lion cannot eat anyone and will starve. If there are three animals who chose River, then woohoo. Also, if you move to an invalid place (like if you aren't going back to your main habitat) I will inform you.
I would prefer to make this quicker paced, where you tell me which habitat you want to go to next DURING the round itself and not after it ends. I don't know if I want to use a full day on setting up that. But I will if I have to!
The next rule is pretty simple. I will announce the player's death when it happens! But!! You won't know who attacked them unless you were in the same habitat.
Peeking! Peeking is an ability everyone has. After you are assigned your animal, you are allowed to ask to peek at someone before the game starts. Only you will know who you chose to peek at and what the peeked at person is. One clarification is the Chameleon's ability. The Chameleon can change it's appearance into any animal. If Player A asks to be disguised as Player B's animal, that is a no go. The Chameleon chooses the animal it wants to disguise as from the list. So when the Chameleon is peeked at, you won't know that they are the Chameleon right away.
Why does the game have two Lions?! Heh.
