It is a 2 player game that takes 10-30 minutes to play for ages 10 and up. The goal of the game is to reduce your opponent's health to zero.

Players then attack, defend, gain health, etc. all activating that tchotchke's attributes. Attacking The first player picks a tchotchke from the shared pile, declares what aspect they are using, then resolve that aspect based on the result on the character card. Defending After the attacking player chooses the tchotchke attribute they are attacking with, the defending player can defend themselves by invoking an attribute that allows them to block only from that same tchotchke.
