The Party is watching
Fair play
A round is only worth winning if everyone plays it by hand. The Party sees to that.
The Party's check
Now and then the Party asks you to point at a picture before your next move. A person sees the picture; a script gives itself away. Rewards of a comrade the Party suspects are held until a moderator has looked.
One comrade per person
Play with one comrade. The Party looks for twins, and their rewards can be voided.
Commissars
Now and then you may see a comrade floating over the street, marked ☭ Commissar. That is a member of the Central Committee, testing the game. Commissars count on no board, earn no Baksy and take nobody's place, and they and the people do not lay hands on each other: no pickpocketing, no burglary, no shots and no breakouts across the line.
Nothing for sale
Nobody buys power. What you have in a round, you made in that round, and Baksy can only be earned.
Telegrams
Comrades send each other telegrams. A telegram that crosses the line can be reported, and the Party office reads it.
Questions
- What does it cost?
- Nothing. The game is free to play in your browser.
- How do I log in?
- With Internet Identity, the Internet Computer's own login. Your phone or computer confirms it is you with a passkey: no password, no e-mail address.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes. The city, the rooms and the casino all fit a phone's screen.
- What happens when a round ends?
- The boards are settled, the best enter the Hall of fame, the Baksy are paid out and the world starts over. How a season runs.
- Where are the numbers?
- The jail times, the prices, the round's length and the rewards change as the Party tunes the game. The rules page reads them straight from the game.
- What is the Internet Computer?
- A blockchain that runs whole programs. Krasnograd's world, the accounts, the rubles and the Baksy all live on it, in canisters, with no server of ours in between.
