=== Betting ===
Before the commencement of any game of Exoptosis, a player may raise the stakes by betting Chips, up to the number they have. Any bet chips are removed from their owner's inventory and added to a pool for that game. If at least one other player matches this bet, all players must either match or further raise the bet (then all players must match this new bet). If a player does not wish to or cannot meet a bet, they must forfeit the game (but lose no Chips).
Before the commencement of any game of Exoptosis, a player may raise the stakes by betting Chips or Holographic Cards, up to the number they have. Any bet items are removed from their owner's inventory and added to a pool for that game. If at least one other player matches this bet in number of items regardless of what they are, all players must either match the bet in the same way or further raise the bet by betting a higher number of valid items. Consider the raised bet a new bet and repeat the previous process. If a player does not wish to or cannot meet a bet they must match, they must forfeit the game but the bet they previously had (if any) is returned to their inventory.


If no players match a bet, the raised bet is refunded and the bet restored to the previous amount (or zero). This bet is final and the game then begins immediately.

=== Playing Cards ===
On a participant's Exoptosis turn, they must play a card from their ''hand''. If they cannot play a card, they must add one to their hand from their ''deck'' (that is not already in the game). 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''.
On a participant's Exoptosis turn, they must play a card from their hand. If they cannot play a card they must draw 1 card. Unless a card has an effect that indicates otherwise, a participant may play a card if any of the following apply:
 
* The card has a value equal to, one (1) above, or one (1) below that of the previous played card.
* The card is non-special and has a colour that opposes that of the previous played card.
 
However, on the first turn of the game, the first player must play a non-special card.


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.
=== Drawing ===
When a player draws a card in an exoptosis game, they select a card from their deck that is not already in play and add it to their hand. If they don't have enough cards in their deck, they choose another participant who then selects and gives the drawing player 1 card from their hand.
