Chaos Statement : How to Play
What's the objective?
Chaos Statement is played in rounds. If you survive 7 rounds, you win the game.
What is the gameplay?
In each round, you have a limited pool of words and must build one premise for a syllogism.
What's a syllogism?
A syllogism is an argument involving at least two true premises, and a conclusion drawn from them.
Here's an example:
All cats are evil. (premise 1)
Some cats are gray. (premise 2)
Therefore, some gray things are evil. (conclusion)
How do I construct a premise?
Each player starts the game with the same limited pool of words, and new words are drawn based on your premises.
To construct a premise, move the words into a logical, grammatic statement.
There are a few rules:
- The premise must have at least 4 words.
- The premise must start with a Quantifier (all, no, some).
Additional Quantifiers can be unlocked as you play.
- The premise must have at least one noun.
- The premise must generally have only one verb.
Exception: Once you unlock conjunctions you and can string two phrases together.
- In the first round, you must use the Featured Word.
Where does the battle part come in?
Each word holds significance in a four-suited battle system.
The general strategy is to outweigh your opponent in these statistics:
- Tech Affinity, represented by Cannons
- Asset Value, represented by Fortresses
- Martial Skill, represented by Musketeers
- Social Capital, represented by Cavalry
As you construct your premise, the display will show an estimate of the statistical strength.
Once your premise is ready, you can click the 'Battle' buton to initiate and resolve the battle.
How am I matched with an opponent?
Your premise matched based on these requirements:
- Your premise and your opponent's must have a similar overall strength (based on the value of the words)
- There must be one noun in common.
- Your premise and your opponent's cannot be exactly the same.
If an opponent cannot be found, your premise will be matched against a bot equipped to compliment it.
What happens after the battle?
Following battle, you gain new words:
-
From Conclusion: Any new words in the conclusion are immediately added to your word pool for future premises.
-
Word Drawing: Choose one of four new words to add to your word pool.
How does the game end?
- You win the game if you can survive 7 rounds.
The highest scores for each day are enshrined on the Thought Leaders list.
- The game will end early if your army is defeated in rounds 5–7.
