There are 36 sets of rules you'll have to read! Can you keep up?

Setup

In this game, players will select microgames from a 6x6 board.

The DMO, Piggy, will select the first microgame to be played; then, players will alternate selecting microgames.

Gameplay

When a microgame is selected, its rules will be released, and the microgame will immediately begin. The player who did NOT select the game will be given the Advantage for the game, if it exists. Each game is expected to take less than a minute or so.

When a microgame is completed, the player who won it will score a point. No microgames will result in a tie. The microgame will then be blanked out. Then, the player who did not select the microgame will select the next microgame . This next microgame must be adjacent to a blanked out microgame. In addition, the board wraps around, so the microgame at A1 is adjacent to the microgame at A2, A6, B1, and F1.

Winning

If a player reaches 19 points, they win the DM. If both players reach 18 points, then the DMO, Piggy, wins.

Timing

Players have 20 seconds to select a new microgame once the previous one has ended. If a player runs out of time in selecting a microgame, their opponent will select the microgame and also receive the Advantage for that microgame. If a player runs out of time in any microgame, they forfeit the microgame.

Restrictions

You may take notes during the DM; however, the use of external tools such as calculators, programs, or spreadsheet formulas is prohibited.
