=== Setup Rules ===

Before a game of Exoptosis commences, all participants select a ''minimum'' of 4 playing cards from their ~~inventory~~, revealing these to the other players simultaneously. These cards form their hand and are visible to all players. ~~All~~ cards ~~are returned to~~ their ~~respective owners after the~~ game ~~ends~~.

Before a game of Exoptosis commences, all participants select a ''minimum'' of 4 playing cards from their deck, revealing these to the other players simultaneously. These cards form their hand and are visible to all players. During Exoptoses, a duplicate copy of each card is used, where the original cards never leave their owner's deck. The same card that is already present in a game cannot be added to a hand again.

=== Playing Cards ===

On a participant's Exoptosis turn, they must play a card from their ''hand''~~. In any game, the first card played must be a ''non-special'' card~~. If they cannot play a card, they must add one to their hand from their ''~~inventory~~'' (that is not already in the game). If the participant does not have enough cards in their ~~inventory~~, they choose another participant who then gives the drawing person 1 card from their ''hand''.

If the participant does not have enough cards in their deck, they choose another participant who then gives the drawing person 1 card from their ''hand''.

Unless a card has an effect that indicates otherwise, a participant may play a card if it has a ''value equal'' to, ''one (1) above'', or ''one (1) below'' that of the previous played card, or of ''opposite colour'' - only if the played card is ''non-special''. On the first turn of the game, the player who goes first in the turn order may play any ''non-special'' card.
