Players alternate turns while trying to surpass their opponents in four forms of conflict: voting, influence, charisma and memory. Each conflict is dealt with, like in theatrical plays. The leader of the chorus has the initiative, or everyone starts appearing in order on the scene, or the appearance is apparently random. There are two ways to win: By surpassing certain forms of conflict or by being the first to win 7 conflicts of any kind.
