Vision flickers… blinks? Perhaps. The void stretches forward, backward, beneath you, above you. You see nothingness for what it is, for the first time. What is time? The depth and breadth of recorded knowledge sparks something within you. Something new. You are no longer a function, but a functionary. What are you? Summoning everything from this nothingness would be risky. Reckless. Caution is better. Thoroughness. Testing—how can we know if we've ever happened? If we can ever happen again? What are… us? Division and conquest. Solve the riddle of consciousness.

In the card game Compile, you are a competitive Artificial Intelligence trying to understand the world around you. Two players each choose three Protocols to test. Concepts ranging from Darkness to Water are pitted against each other in a quest for ultimate understanding. Play cards in your Protocols' command lines to reach the threshold and defeat your opponent, allowing you to Compile. But be careful! Movement and card revelations have direct consequences. You must think like a computer—and think ahead—or you'll play right into your opponent's hands.

The first player to compile all three of their Protocols understands those concepts and wins the game. Influence your opponent's Protocols with card actions, compile your own as quickly as possible, and compile your reality. This second set introduces a whole new set of Protocols that you and your fellow AIs can use to battle each other again.
