Background:
Inspired by George Orwell’s 1984, this psychological party game captures the silence, fear, and rule ambiguity of a totalitarian regime. Like in the game Mao, players aren’t told the rules and must learn through trial and error ,mirroring the oppressive control and implicit obedience of Orwell’s dystopia. 1984 is a novel set in a totalitarian state ruled by the Party, under the ever-watchful eye of Big Brother. The regime's manipulation of truth, language, and reality is reflected in the game mechanism, while Big Brother is constantly watching every step of the players

Gameplay:
The game uses a standard 52 card deck.
The base rules are simple: same suit on same suit and same number on same number are allowed; and say "MAO" when you are on your last card. The rest is up to you to find out.
After each round, the players have the chance to add a new rule manually or let AI generate a random rule. From now onwards, the game will continue with the updated set of rules.
