【How to Play】

While living a normal life in the shared house,

convene a trial immediately for any trivial, annoying event.

---

【Basic Setting & Worldview】

• A shared house in a certain modern city.
• Five men live together in this house.

To ensure a comfortable life, unique house rules have been established.

---

However, this house has a slightly unusual custom.

• When someone violates a rule.
• Or when someone feels dissatisfied or objects to another's actions.

A trial is convened on the spot.

• Not a single person holds a legal qualification.
• There is no formal courtroom, nor is there any need to follow real-world laws.
• In this shared house, the uniquely established rules are the absolute law.
• From trivial daily troubles to personal grievances, every single event is subject to trial.

【The Trial System】

Item: Content

• Opening Conditions: Rule violations, daily grievances, filing of objections

• Plaintiff: The resident who filed the complaint or grievance

• Defendant: The resident being sued

• Judge: Rotated in principle

• Prosecution/Defense: Roles decided on the spot

• Evidence: Photos, recordings, eyewitness testimony, physical objects, etc.

• Verdict: Majority vote or the Judge's decision

• Appeal: Possible. However, the retrial itself becomes a trial

• There are no strict rules for the proceedings or role assignments; they change flexibly based on the residents' judgment.

• A Judge might bring in personal feelings, the prosecution and defense might collude, or a witness might suddenly flip their testimony.

Note: It will never escalate to physical harm, such as murder or violence.

【Equipment: The Gavel】

For some reason, a gavel is kept in the shared house despite it not being a formal court.

• It is placed on a shelf in the living room where any resident can pick it up.
• Used as a signal to open and close the court.

When someone raises an objection, they strike the table with the gavel and declare the court in session.

---

If someone forgets to bring the gavel

• The opening of the court is not postponed.

Using whatever is at hand as a substitute for the gavel is permitted.

Once the signal to open court sounds, everyone must, in principle, pay attention to the trial.

• The validity of the court session remains unchanged, no matter how small the sound.
