The Rules

Alex immediately starts to read the rules out loud for everyone to hear.

To start the game players must sit in a circle and you must set the orb of magic in the middle. Everyone must put their hand on the orb at the same time.

As he reads this Hunter pulls out was looks to be a crystal ball out of the box. It rests on an ornate black stand that almost look like tendrils as they grasp the ball. The ball itself is pitch black, and completely opaque. Hunter sets it in the middle of the table.

Once the game is started, the orb will tell you who goes first. That player must draw a card from the top of the deck. The card will reveal a colour, the orb will also glow that colour, revealing it to all players.

Hunter then also grabs out a deck of card, they seem like usual playing cards. The back of the cards are dark, with some odd patterns.

Blue - The Truth Card. If you draw up a blue card, you touch the orb and the orb will pick another player. That player then asks you a question. You must answer the question truthfully

Red - The Dare Card. If you draw up a red card, you touch the orb and the orb will pick another player. That player then gives you a dare. You must preform the dare.

"So it's basically truth or dare?" Owen comments

"Seems like it" Crystal agrees

"There's more" Alex brings up before he continues.

Yellow - The Would You Rather Card. If you draw up a yellow card, you touch the orb _and the orb will pick another player. That player then gives you two options, you must pick which of the two options you would prefer, and it will come true.

"What does it mean 'come true'?" Bryan asks.

"Will you guys stop interrupting?" Alex scolds.

Pink - The Condition Card. If you draw up a pink card, you touch the orb and the orb will pick another player. That player then gives you a condition. A condition usually follows a 'if... then...' format. You must follow through with this condition for the rest of the game.

Green - The Dice Card. If you draw up a green card, _you touch the orb and the orb will pick another player. You must roll the dice then follow through with what the dice land on to the other player.

Hunter pulls out a pair of dice. They appear like regular dice, but they seem completely blank.

Orange - The Strip Card. If you draw up an orange card, you must remove one piece of clothing.

"Woohoo, now that's fun" Crystal cheers, almost everyone agreeing. We're all single after all. Alex just gives her a look before continuing.

Purple - The Body Swap Card. If you draw up a purple card, _you touch the orb and the orb will pick another player. You then must kiss that player on the lips and the two of you will swap bodies. Beware, all changes are body specific, including conditions

"That's a weird rule." Hunter comments

"It's likely that it means you need to swap places with that player, and your conditions, and I guess other things, transfer as well." Blake answers.

"That makes sense." Crystal agrees.

Silver - The Group Truth Card. If you draw a silver card, the player to your left asks you a question. You must answer the question truthfully. Then the player to that player's left also asks you a question. This pattern continues until all players have asked you a question, and you have answered them all truthfully.

Gold - The Group Dare Card. _If you draw a gold card, the player to your left give you a dare. You must preform the dare. Then the player to that player's left also gives you a dare. This pattern continues until all players have given you a dare, and you have performed each of them.

Black - The Reversal Card. If you draw a black card, you may reverse one change done to you.

After you have completed the necessary actions the card gave you, the player to your left does the same. Play continues until everyone agrees to stop the game. At which case all players must touch the orb. If you'd like to return to yourself, all players must give you permission.

"There. Those are the rules" Alex announces.
