What it's really about
The situation
He sits on the keyboard. Not beside it: on it. He does not move. He looks at you. The debug begins, and it is not the one you had planned.
Why those numbers
One story point, the smallest number in the deck — except for the Cat race, which takes -5 and therefore has to beat a bug of negative strength. It is the only card in the game a race can lose to through excess affinity. Side effect: it pushes a piece of gear off the table. Literally.
How to play it
You close it without thinking. Unless you are a Cat, in which case the whole table is about to notice.
Bugs
What you pull from the Tickets pile. Your velocity has to land strictly above their story points — and your friends will inflate them.
