Competition Phase

A competition determines the players or teams that win reward points and immunity
At the end of each competition all participants receive a depletion counter
Before rolling, players may opt to deduct 3 from their competition roll in exchange for a reward point

Multiple Team Competition

Each player in each team rolls
Highest team roll wins reward
All players but lowest team have immunity
Lowest team roll votes off a member
Ties are broken by re-rolls

Single Team Competition

Each player rolls
Highest roll wins immunity and reward
Ties are broken by re-rolls

Camp Phase

1. Resource Consumption

If there are 5 food for every player, deduct that food from the total and remove a depletion counter from all players
For example, if there are 6 players, 30 food is needed

2. Resource Gathering

Each player rolls in secret
Only the final result, not the roll, is reported
Negative values are reported as zero
Before rolling, players may opt to deduct 3 from their resource roll in exchange for a bonus roll
After rolling, players may opt to deduct 5 from their resource roll in exchange for a reward point
After rolling, players may spend 1 reward point for a bonus roll
The final outcome, rounded to zero for negative values, is reported

3. Bonus Roll

Players that opted for a bonus roll for advantage
The resulting roll is not reported to the player, only the outcome
If an advantage is available, the first player on the team to roll a 12 wins it

Depletion Counter Penalties

There are three types of penalties:
Stat penalties reduce max stats by one to a minimum of 1
Roll penalties reduce rolls by one to a minimum of 1
Outcome penalties reduce roll outcomes by one to a minimum of 0
Penalties are cumulative
Penalties only effect competition and survival roles

Penalty Levels

-1 to stats
-1 to rolls
-1 to outcomes
-1 to stats and rolls
-1 to outcomes and stats
-1 to rolls and outcomes
-1 to all

Example

A [7, 9] player with four penalty counters:

-2 to all stats -> [5, 7] player
-2 to rolls
-1 to outcomes
If this player rolled a 6 in competition:
Roll loses two and becomes a 4
4 is under the new max of five
Final result is 3 after the outcome penalty
The original score without penalties would have been 6
If this player rolled a 12 in survival:
Roll loses two and becomes 10
10 is over the new max of 7 and becomes 7
Final result is 6 after the outcome penalty
