On the table are a 16 red stones, 8 blue stones, and a 2 black stones. There are also indentations around the edge of the table, each one marked in the color of one of the teams.]

[Jabberwock's voice echoes through the room]

Heroesss, the rulesss are ssssimple. The red stones are pointssss of attack that you mussst play againssst another team . . . or more if you ssso choosssse. The blue ssstoness are points of defensssse that you may play on othersss. They may not be played on yourselvesss. The black ssstoness are usssed to sssteal defenssse from another team. One ssstone is worth half the pointsss of defenssse they have accumulated. With both ssstones you will take all of the pointsss. However, if two teamsss thieve from the sssame target, the defenssse will be divided between them.

All red ssstones musssst be played, but it isss your choiccce how many of blue and black to play. When you have decccided, put the ssstones into the depressssion marked for your chosssen team or teamsss.

+Red stones are points of attack! You must play all of these stones.

+Blue stones are defense! You may choose to play only some or none of these stones, and you may not play them on your own team.

+Black stones are stealing! 1 stone steals half the defense points from the team it's played on. Both stones together steal all the points. You may choose to play none of these stones.
++++However if two teams steal from the same target, the points are divided. ie: X steals 100% of points from Z, but Y steals 100% too! They both get 50%. Or if X steals 100% and Y steals 50%, both get 50%.

+If there are further questions for Jabberwock, please ping Yayoi in IRC.

What happens if we attack someone? Do you think it is literal, or...figurative?

I take it from the raw meat, unhappy faces, and talking about attack and defense that this is one of the rumored Bad Games?

To protect? Or attack?
