Chain of Restraints
2–4 players · 15 min
Chain of Restraints is a game for The Mystique Deck, in which 2–4 players compete to create 4-in-a-row of a single aspect type (e.g. four reds, or four crowns, or four 4s) on a floating 4×4 grid.
The card you play constrains the next player's play, which is not allowed to match your card's number, color, or suit.
The game ends if someone completes a 4-in-a-row to win, or if the deck runs out, ending the game in a draw: Play again to determine a winner.
