About the game

A shared commission translates three sentences of a complete fictional language and compares document versions. It separately establishes meaning, the point of alteration and evidence of intent. No foreign-language knowledge or external research is needed. Prototype 0.1.0. Age 16+; 2–5 players, no facilitator. Entirely offline. All game materials are in Polish; this English text describes the product. Play time of 90–120 minutes and preparation of about 15 minutes after reading and printing are estimates. Rule models and digital files checked. Human playtests, physical printing and independent preparation remain pending.
