Portal: The Uncooperative Cake Acquisition Game
Teams of test subjects enter a shifting laboratory where chambers slide off a conveyor and plunge into oblivion. Players move and portal their characters into numbered chambers, play cards to manipulate positions, and contest area control to score points when a chamber falls. When a chamber collapses, surviving test subjects on it may grant parting gifts (including cake) based on their values, but collected cake must be kept on the board and can be stolen or pushed toward the precipice by opponents. The game ends when a team loses its last test subject; the player with the most cake wins. Play emphasizes tactical positioning, hand management, and timing as the lab continuously rearranges itself.
