Work together as Researchers using dice to build experiments, test hypotheses, and ultimately publish theories to uncover a hidden Law of the Universe. Setup: Place the dice within easy reach of all players. Decide which player will be the Universe, who will be responsible for creating a secret Law only they know. They take the Result Markers. Their goal will be to present the other players with a challenge while silently guiding them to success. All other players take on the role of Researchers. Place the four Publication Tokens within easy reach of them. The Universe shuffles the Laws of the Universe cards and draws one. This card must be kept secret, but the Universe may refer to it at any time. Example Laws: “There must be at least one orange die.” “The sum of all dice must be ten.” “There must be more odd dice than even dice.” “There must be exactly three dice.” To begin the game, the Universe builds 2 experiments, each using 4 or fewer dice: One that follows the secret Law described on the card they drew, and one that does not. The Universe then places an appropriate Result Marker next to each: O for follows, X for does not follow. An experiment is any grouping of dice created by a player. Play The Universe takes no turns of their own. They set up the game and respond to the actions of the Researchers. Researchers take turns either building experiments for the Universe to evaluate or publishing theories in an attempt to win the game. On their turn, the active Researcher may either Build an Experiment or Publish a Theory. —description from the designer
