A poetic duel of transformations.
🎭 Objective
- Defeat your opponent through a chain of imaginative transformations.
- Each new form must metaphorically overcome the previous one.
- First to reach 20 points wins.
🧩 Game Structure
- Players: 2 (Duelists)
- Rounds: Turn-based, alternating.
- Moves: Each turn is an "I am X" statement (X = concept, being, force, or state that can plausibly defeat the previous form).
- Victory: Reach 20 points.
- Loss: Drop to 0 points.
🔁 Turn Format
- Begin with "I am..." followed by a concept or entity.
- Justify (implicitly or poetically) why this new form defeats the previous.
- Follow semantic escalation: moves should progress from physical to abstract or cosmic.
- No repetition or contradiction: you can't reuse forms or contradict your earlier self.
Example:
- Dream: "I am a lion, fierce and strong."
- Lucifer: "I am a spear, lion-piercing, swift and lethal."
- Dream: "I am a shield, spear-stopping, resolute and unbreaking."
⚖️ Adjudication
- The duel is judged (by an AI) on:
- Imaginative logic
- Narrative strength
- Symbolic validity
🧠 Core Principles
- Imaginative Plausibility: The new form must symbolically or metaphorically counter the previous.

❌ Invalid Moves (-2 points)
- Does not plausibly defeat the last form.
- Repeats or contradicts earlier choices.
