Both players choose a number from 1-9. Their numbers are added together.
Success (Sum ≤ 10)
Each player receives a percentage equal to their contribution.
Example: Sheep picks 3, Wolf picks 6 = Sum of 9
- Sheep gets: 3/9 = 33.3%
- Wolf gets: 6/9 = 66.7%
Bust (Sum > 10)
- Sheep receives: 0%
- Wolf receives: A percentage based on their Alpha Score (see below)
- Remainder is: Burned
Wolf's Share During Bust
| Alpha Score | Wolf's Share |
|---|---|
| A5 (Omega) | 20% |
| A6 (Delta) | 22.5% |
| A7 (Beta) | 25% |
| A8 (Alpha) | 30% |
💡 Example: If A7 Wolf causes a Bust, Wolf gets 25%, Sheep gets 0%, and 75% is burned.
