The Game
For years, Bog, a bored infant god, has been finding people in unfortunate circumstance, ripping them out of their realities, and trapping them within a warped cognitive playground. The players are the latest four unfortunates it has selected.
As the host of the playground, Bog is obsessed with competition, rulemaking and chance. In the spirit of fair play, it will allow one of the players to escape back to their own reality, but only if they manage to win a series of games. The rest will be consumed by Bog; their minds to be scoured out and added to its playground.

The four tables
Knave
A memory game with one rule: win by having the lowest-scoring hand. You’re dealt four cards, but can only see two. Draw cards with unique abilities, memorise your hand and beware the darkness. When the lights go out, Mr. Knave emerges to shuffle your cards and your memory.
Gumbo
Cook up a soup for The Chef by adding ingredients to the pot, choosing whether to tell the truth or bluff your way through. Catch your friends in a bluff to win the round, but keep the noise down or The Chef might come looking...
Flypt
Race your pawn across a two-sided board, using cards to move in different patterns and placing walls to block your opponents. Flip the board to escape tricky situations and make sure to keep an eye on the nearby statues, they may be closer than you think.
Flashfire
Hunt your friends through the forest by moving strategically, looting crates for items and shooting at where you think other hunters are hiding. Each shot fuels the fire that will eventually engulf the board. Be the last one standing to win, remember to keep the windows open or you'll succumb to the smoke,
