Month Score Ingestion

Game Rules

1. Scoring Fundamentals

Daily Scores

• Players submit a daily drink count for each calendar day.
• A “drink” is self-reported and treated as a numeric value.

Missing Daily Scores

• If a player fails to submit a daily score:
• That day is automatically filled with (their highest recorded daily score × 2).

• This rule:
• Is applied before any card logic.
• Cannot be overridden by immunity or cards.

2. Monthly Flow & Timing

1. Month is active
   • Players submit daily scores.
   • Players may play at most one card.
2. Month close
   • On the last day of the month + 24 hours, score submissions close.
   • Submissions occur outside the app.
   • No changes allowed after this point.
3. Period 1: Personal Card Effects
   • All personal-impacting cards are applied.
   • Raw scores are then finalised.
4. Period 2: Group Card Effects
   • Group-impacting cards are applied in execution order.
5. Results revealed
   • All card effects and final scores are revealed simultaneously.

3. Raw Score Definition

• After missing-score penalties.
• After Period 1 (personal card effects).
• Before Period 2 (group effects).

• Higher scores are worse.
• Raw scores are locked once Period 1 completes.

4. Sobriety & Immunity Rules

28-Day Sobriety Bonus

• If a player completes 28 consecutive days of 0 drinks, they receive +1 card.

• This bonus:
• Cannot be influenced, blocked, or created by cards.
• May span month boundaries if days are consecutive.

Monthly Immunity (Total)

• If a player records 0 drinks for an entire calendar month, they receive total immunity for that month.

• Total immunity means:
• No card effects of any kind (personal or group, positive or negative) may affect them for that month.

• Immunity:
• Does not prevent the player from playing a card.
• Applies across both Period 1 and Period 2.

5. Card Rules

Card Visibility

• All card plays and effects remain hidden until final monthly resolution.

Card Usage

• Each player may play a maximum of one card per month.
• All cards are single-use.
• Cards apply only to their stated timeframe (e.g. day or month).
• No card has effects beyond its declared scope.

6. Card Application Model

Period 1 — Personal Card Effects (Pre-Raw Finalisation)

• Personal cards:
• Affect only the player who played them.
• Modify daily or monthly values before raw score lock.
• All valid personal cards resolve before raw scores are finalised.
• Execution order is irrelevant in this period.

Period 2 — Group Card Effects (Post-Raw Finalisation)

• Group cards:
• Affect multiple players or global outcomes.
• Are applied after raw scores are finalised.

Group Card Execution Order

• Cards execute in order of raw monthly score:
• Higher raw score → earlier execution.

• Tiebreaker:
• Previous months’ FINAL scores.
• Higher FINAL score executes earlier.

7. Hand Management & End-Game Penalties

Card Hoarding Penalty

• At the end of the competition:
• Any player holding more than 3 cards incurs a
• 10% compounded penalty to their final score.
• This penalty is applied after all scoring and card effects.

8. Effect Resolution Rules

• Card effects stack in execution order unless explicitly stated otherwise.
• No card can:
• Override immunity.
• Retroactively affect raw score after Period 1.
• Persist beyond its defined timeframe.

9. Admin Authority (Optional Section)

• Only the admin may:
• Assign or remove players.
• Deactivate or delete players.
• Resolve disputes or data errors.
• Admin actions are final.
