In the game, there are rules:

  1. There are no rules.
  2. Actually, there are some rules.
  3. You begin playing the game when you are born.
  4. You stop playing the game when you die.
  5. Not everybody plays the game.
  6. It is impossible to tell if someone you know, have met, or have seen on the street plays the game or not.
  7. The object of the game is to win.
  8. Another object of the game is not to lose.
  9. You may use whatever is available to you to help you win the game.
  10. It is profoundly difficult to win the game.
  11. There have only been a few winners of the game throughout the history of Earth.
  12. There is only one winner of the game alive right now.
  13. All players of the game are convinced that the unknown winner is themselves.
  14. You earn points in the game by living to your own standards.
  15. You lose points by refusing to live by the standards of others.
  16. Up is down, quack is right, and right is undefined.
