Neuroyale
Up to 24 players, 7 trials, one winner.
The rules in six lines
- Up to 24 seats: you, real runs of other members (ghosts) and house bots, all labelled; no more bots from 15 ghosts on.
- 7 rounds of 60 to 90 seconds, drawn from 5 families: math, memory, logic, sequence and perception.
- After each round, the last ones go out: for 24 seats, 18, 14, 10, 7, 5, then 3 players remain for the final, plus those a shield keeps in.
- The top third of each round wins a token: a shield, which saves you from the cut once, or a jolt, which takes 8% off another player's score in the next round.
- Players who are out play in the stands: after rounds 2 to 6, the best of them sends a jolt, to the leader by default.
- The final has no cut: whoever comes first wins; your place moves your rating.
