# Ontology War

Build the most explanatory, revisable model of a shared anomaly without exhausting collective Trust.

- Players: 2–5
- Duration: 45–100 minutes
- Mode: competitive model-building
- Resources: clarity, trust, evidence-debt

## Setup

```json
[
  {
    "op": "draw",
    "count": 1,
    "from": {
      "classes": [
        "events",
        "states"
      ]
    },
    "to": "shared-anomaly"
  },
  {
    "op": "draw",
    "count": 1,
    "from": {
      "classes": [
        "hypotheses"
      ]
    },
    "to": "each-player-lens"
  },
  {
    "op": "draw",
    "count": 4,
    "from": {},
    "to": "each-player-hand"
  }
]
```

## Turn Actions

### Explain

- `place` {"op":"place","card":"hand-card","zone":"model"}
- `connect` {"op":"connect","from":"hand-card","to":"shared-anomaly","edgeType":"interpreted-through"}

### Cross-examine

- `challenge-claim` {"op":"challenge-claim","card":"opponent-model","stake":"clarity"}

### Revise

- `swap` {"op":"swap","first":"model-card","second":"hand-card"}
- `gain` {"op":"gain","resource":"trust","amount":1}

### Name Disconfirmation

- `cite-source` {"op":"cite-source","card":"lens","claim":"disconfirmation-condition"}
- `retreat-track` {"op":"retreat-track","track":"evidence-debt","amount":2}

## Resolution

- **Win:** After six rounds, score sourced edges + declared disconfirmations + revisions; ties favor higher Trust.
- **Loss:** All players lose if collective Trust reaches zero.
