What's Nomic?

Where can I play it?

Active Nomics
Nomic Play Link Current Status Description Complexity Quickness
Agora Nomic https://agoranomic.org/ The "Sets" Era Agora is one of the oldest and most complex nomics, running since 1993. Very complex, with many rules and strict rule interpretation Players can generally make a few moves a week, proposals pass about every other week, and winning can take from months to years (with multiple win conditions available at once usually)
BlogNomic https://blognomic.com/ The Deep Sea Fishing Dynasty BlogNomic is played in Dynasties, rounds with unique style and flavor that are entirely repealed when someone wins. Moderately complex, depending on the specifics of the current dynasty Each Dynasty lasts around a month; proposals pass after 1-2 days.
Fantasy Rules Committee https://groups.google.com/g/frc-play Round 380 Players take turns adding rules and earning style points for following the current theme.
Infinite Nomic https://discord.gg/uBFBfsn The Obelisk Cycle Infinite Nomic is played in rounds (called Cycles), each started under a different ruleset engineered to allow experimentation in game design. Small rulesets, but generally textualist interpretations. Cycles last several months. Aims to only require players to check in twice weekly.

Branching Nomic https://github.com/fjsweeney/branch-nomic/tree/main The Beginning Many different versions will exist, meant to have very loose rule interpretation based on the social contract Players generally only need to make one move a week 1 week per move
