Mundane

No dragons. No spells. Just Tuesday.

Two households face off across the kitchen table. You spend Time to play People, Appliances, and Habits, drop Tasks onto the stack, and answer them with Instants — all to chip away at your opponent’s Composure until their household falls apart.

This is the meta repository for Mundane: the home of the game’s design and specification, and the index to the repositories that implement it. There is no game code here — just the canonical, human-readable description of how Mundane works.

Documentation

• Specification — the tight, normative rules: Composure and Time, the five card types, the turn structure, priority, the stack, and the exact legality of every action.
• Rulebook — the same rules in plain language, with worked examples and a sample turn.

The specification is the human-readable mirror of the engine. The engine — in mundane-backend — is the source of truth: where the code and the spec disagree, the code wins and the spec is the thing to fix. Cards are published as JSON card sets in mundane-cards; the effects they name live with the engine.
