Superiority Complex

Yep. That's right. A game once to find out once and for all who is the best and who is the scum beneath your feet.

Each player takes in turn placing cards showing who they are better than. Some times you are superior and some times you are inferior. To win a round you must be superior to someone and inferior to no one.

As soon as a player reaches that sweet number of 10 wins, they are the best and is the pronounced King Superior!!

They then receive the amazing prize of 1 full minute of pure uninterrupted gloating!

A Brief Intro to the Cards and Game Basics

As you may have noticed each card has an arrows and various words saying you are either Superior or Inferior. Some of these words are the 3 levels you can be in the game, from best to worst they are: Superior, Neutral and Inferior. The cards will tell you who you are better than and if you have conditions to that statement.

Some cards will only give you one direction and level. Some get a little more complicated…

There are three outcomes to the second example.

1. If the player to the Right is Superior or Neutral, you are Neutral to both sides.
2. If the player to the Right is Inferior and the Left is Neutral or Inferior, you win.
3. If the player to the Right is Inferior but the Left is Superior to you as well, you both tied and cancel each other out.

Same goes for if you both are Neutral or Inferior at the same time. If you have the same level, you both loose. Other cards will have different variations of the examples above. Some might seem good or bad. So, don’t worry if you are Inferior. You might screw your neighbor as well. The cards will only tell you if you are Superior or Inferior to another player. If they don’t, you are automatically Neutral.

Got it? Good.

Playing The Game

To start the game the player with the superior age (oldest) is the dealer. Shuffle the deck and deal 5 cards face down clockwise to every player. The remaining cards are placed face down in a draw pile. The players now look at their cards.

At the start of each round, each player chooses a single card and places the card face down in front of them. Once everyone places their cards, flip over the cards at the same time. To score a point a player cannot be a lower level then either side. You can be one side Superior and the other Neutral or Neutral and Inferior to score as well. You score only if you are better. If you are higher in level to the right but lower to the left, NO POINT.
Just remember...

Superior > Neutral > Inferior

Same level = Both loose

You must be at least SUPERIOR on one side and not INFERIOR at all!

After the arguing is over, place all used cards into a discard pile and each player draws a new card. If the draw pile is empty, reshuffle the discard pile and continue.
