- Non-players entering a colony automatically become players, while civilians initially trapped within a barrier at the game’s onset are permitted a safe exit.
- Players accumulate points by eliminating other participants.
- Points are awarded by the game master based on the perceived value of a player’s life, with sorcerers earning five points and non-sorcerers earning one point.
- Participants can utilize 100 points to introduce a new rule into the Culling Game.
- The game master is obligated to accept any new rule proposed, except if it has a lasting impact on the game.
