Rules

Points distribution example

Battling example

Base infinite points explanation

• The player team has to compete against the Citizen team.
• Each team starts with 10 000 points in total.
• Members of each team are free to distribute the points amongst themselves as they see fit, with a minimum of 100 points per person.
• The teams each have their respective bases with tall metal pillars generating electricity placed in the middle.
• The game begins once all the points have been distributed among the players.
• It is GAME CLEAR for the team with the most points when the timer runs out.
• It is GAME OVER for the losing team.
• It is GAME OVER for any player who loses all their points.

Battle

• Players from opposite teams battle each other by making contact with an opposing team member.
• The player with more points wins the battle and takes 500 points from the loser.
• Players can battle in pairs as long as they keep physical contact with each other.
  • When players form pairs, their points are combined in battle.
  • When player pairs win battles, the points earned are divided between them.
• Players that complete a battle, win or lose, are inactive. Their points are frozen and they cannot participate in battles while they are inactive.
  • Players can return to the game by touching their base.
  • If a player attempts to battle an inactive player, they will be electrocuted. This does not mean disqualification, but it is a strong shock that could knock both players unconscious.

Items

• There are six random items hidden in containers around the game arena, each granting a varying number of points.
  • The point values range from 500 to 3000.
• Once the item is found, the player will gain the points tied to the respective item by pressing the button.

Base

• Each team has a tall metal pillar acting as their base.
• If a player touches their enemy base, they earn 10 000 points.
• As long as a player touches their own base, they have infinite points.
  • While this player has infinite points, they can battle any enemy player.
  • If they do so, they will automatically win and take 10 000 points from the loser.
• Any player that touches their enemy base is inactive and cannot battle until they touch their own base.

Strategy

• Points distribution is a key to winning. Arisu gives Tatta the minimal 100 points and leaves him to guard the base, because touching the base provides infinite points. Furthermore, he divides the other four team members into pairs; the faster one in each pair is given fewer points and the slower one gets more points. If the slower one is attacked as a potentially easier target, they have more chances to win the battle.
• Climbing onto the crates to traverse the arena is allowed. Usagi uses this strategy to divert Goken from the enemy base.
• If a player removes their wristband, they can give it to another player, and the points will be added. However, removing the wristband is difficult and may put the player's life at risk.
• Attacking the enemy base while some of the team members are inactive may prove successful if the inactive players act as a decoy while the active ones touch the pillar.
