It includes six decor boards and thirteen characters or objects. The game consists of choosing a decor and placing one or more cut elements in it. It is then enough to refer to the table of interpretations to discoverwith horror or delightwhat this choice means. The character or object chosen in the first place indicates the dominant tendency of the players character, the elements then chosen will come to qualify and complete the first interpretation, in order of decreasing importance. Some objects or characters may appear strange; that should not surprise, they were wanted such in order to facilitate the interpretations. You will see that you will quickly become familiar with TOPSYCHOPOR and soon you will feel the temptation to play with the characters without worrying about their meaning. Because this game hides its game, a game that you will take. For the interpretation of the stories that you will then make, you can always consult your usual psychiatrist. --- --- from the Rules of the Game, original French text: Sans prtendre atteindre la rigueur dun vrai test psychologique, TOPSYCHOPOR en utilise les principes.
