Rules

The game has the same rules as La'b Madjnuni (Crazy Game) except the following:[1]

  • At the beginning of the game, seven pieces are placed in each house
  • Each player may choose one of the seven houses under their control, instead of first taking from the house on their right.
gollark: A polynomial is basically something like x³ + xy² + x + 7; the sum of some monomials, which contain variables and stuff multiplied together.
gollark: Plus trigonometry and exponentials are conveniently merged.
gollark: For example, they have the "fundamental theorem of algebra", where a polynomial of degree n *always* has n roots.
gollark: Anyway, by defining an answer to sqrt(-1) you can attain the complex numbers, which are a very powerful extension to the real number line.
gollark: Bold of you to only accept the reals as "numbers". Complex numbers have rights too.
