The Great Game Aurieleteer

The Great Game Aurieleteer, often called simply "the Game", is a magical contest, the prize becoming the Lord Magus of a world. The Game was created by the Enemy, who broke open the Abyss.

Rules of the Game
1. The challenge itself is binding: to refuse to play is to lose the forfeit. 2. With the exception of those things necessary to the continuance of the universe, all else is subordinate to the Game. 3. For neither the first nor the last week of the Game shall any moves be made, including attempted finesses; between those dates there shall be at least one move made by each Aurielete during each year of the phoenix of Ysthar. 4. Subordinate challenges may not require the opponent to die or to kill, nor be worth more than one-fifth the value of the Great Forfeit. 5. Whether by finesse or accident or final victory, the Game is won with the death of one of the players.
