Anyone can join at any time.

There are two things you can do in this game: ask and answer questions. You can do either of these at any point in the turn.

Answering a question creates a permanent fact about the world. Asking a question shouldn't create a specific fact or entity, but can imply something - you might ask who inhabits a certain place, or who created it.

Your questions must be about an aspect of the world another player has created or contributed to. Your questions and answers must make sense in the context of all the previous facts about the world.




Everyone starts with one pebble.

The first question you answer in a turn costs one pebble. The second question you answer costs two pebbles. The third, three pebbles, and so on.

Asking one or more questions gives you one pebble.

You may ask one question per turn.

You may not answer your own questions.

Every three turns, a Topic will be declared, and questions asked on that turn must concern that topic.

The Yggdrasil, a being of such scope that it's branches and roots thread throughout the world and caves, reaching through the earth to touch the sky as more grand trees from the sight of those that dwell on the surface. It's roots reach into the core and both drink and sustain it in harmony.
