Instructions Not Included Society
Alea iacta est! As Caesar once said, the dice has been cast. We of the Instructions-not-Included Society takes this phrase by heart, since we solely exist for playing games. This is taken very seriously, as we make our own rules before starting a board game. Just like crossing the Rubicon, there will not be any way back, this is how we shall play the game for that night. The loser will be noted and their fate shall be sealed by the judgement of our silent game master. Whom cannot be bargained with (unless it could).
