The Game

Ultra rare card

In honor of his birthday, San Francisco banker Nicholas Van Orton, a financial genius and a cold-hearted loner, receives an unusual present from his younger brother, Conrad: a gift certificate to play a unique kind of game. In nary a nanosecond, Nicholas finds himself consumed by a dangerous set of ever-changing rules, unable to distinguish where the charade ends and reality begins.

ATK comes from the number of votes the film has received on TMDb. It’s what sets the rarity. DEF comes from the audience rating, weighted so that a film with three votes can’t jump ahead. It doesn’t depend on rarity: a Common can excel at it.
