The game is part of a short story of the same name. It was developed in unison with the short story to add a thematic element to the game. All of the actions and mechanics correspond to elements in the story. It is a bluffing/deduction game that takes the push your luck element from blackjack. Every player chooses a card to secretly determine the amount that will be the “bust” number. Every turn you play a new card from your hand of two and take any actions on the card. You are constantly taking cues from other players to see how far to push.
