INFOSPHERE HOW TO PLAY

OBJECTIVE

🔴 Red Team

Get 50% of nodes to believe the narrative (≥60% belief each — shown as ★ captured), or drive polarisation above 75% before the deadline.

🔵 Blue Team

Hold the information environment. Survive until the deadline without Red winning.

EACH TURN

Each turn you have a budget (⚡) — Red gets 4, Blue gets 3. Queue as many actions as your budget covers each turn. Unspent budget carries over (cap 8⚡). Elite Capture (6⚡) requires saving up for a turn.

Pick an action and target — it's added to your queue. Keep queuing while you have budget.

Actions cost 1–6⚡. Queue cheap actions together (inject+amplify=3⚡) or save for Elite Capture (6⚡).

Tap End Turn to submit all queued actions. The AI responds, then belief spreads through the network.

READING THE NETWORK

BEL — belief. How much the target narrative has spread here. Red wants this high.

RES — resilience. How well the node resists incoming narratives. Blue wants this high.

POL — polarisation. High polarisation helps Red's destabilisation win condition.

★

Node is captured (belief ≥60%) — counts toward Red's win condition and actively amplifies the narrative to neighbours.

NODE STATUS BADGES

🛡 Prebunked

Blue has inoculated this node — Red injections here are half as effective.

⚡ Boosted

Red has elite-captured this node — it propagates the narrative at 3× strength.

🔇 Silenced

Blue platform action has cut this node's outbound spread for this turn.

👁 Monitored

Blue is watching this node — Red actions here raise alerts and may be detected.

KEY ACTIONS

RED

💉

Inject — plant the narrative in a new node

🔊

Amplify — accelerate spread where belief already exists

🎯

Capture Elite (6⚡) — turn a high-reach node into an amplifier. Requires saving up 2 turns.

⚡

Wedge — drive polarisation between groups

BLUE

🛡️

Prebunk — inoculate a node before the narrative arrives

❌

Debunk — counter narrative in a node already infected

💪

Boost Resilience — strengthen a node against future attacks

🚫

Platform Action — reduce a platform's amplification reach
