Against the Crowd

How to play

1. 1

   A game has 10 rounds for 2–12 players, drawn without repeats from 60 original low-pressure situations.

2. 2

   You have 20 seconds to predict which of the two options will receive fewer coins. This is a tactical forecast, not a required truthful answer about yourself.

3. 3

   Select one option, then confirm separately. A confirmed coin cannot move; until reveal you see only your own choice and the ready count.

4. 4

   The round closes when everyone confirms or time expires. A missing player scores 0 and contributes no coin; spectators never affect the totals.

5. 5

   When both sides are non-empty and one has fewer coins, every player on that side earns 300 points. An empty side cannot win, so unanimity scores 0.

6. 6

   On an exact tie with at least one coin on each side, every player who submitted earns 300 points. A 0–0 round scores nothing.

7. 7

   Reveal shows only the aggregate sides, totals, missed choices, and score changes—not a player-to-side list. It lasts up to 18 seconds; the host may continue after 5.

8. 8

   After round 10, the highest total wins and tied leaders share the victory. Server-held timers and accepted actions survive refreshes without moving a coin or awarding points twice.
