How to play Plinko Date
Drop a chip through pegs. The landing slot is tonight. Shared option bank. Categories this game uses: food, place, mood, when. Do not fork a list.
Don't plan the date. Play for it. You don't have to agree on a plan. Just agree to play.
Start
- Pick a mode: Zero Thought (schema defaults, skip edit), Make It Ours (defaults loaded, replace any slot), or Blank Slate (empty lists — does not silently refill defaults).
- Each category is authored with five options: food, place, mood, when. You need exactly five live options in every category this game uses or you do not start.
The ritual
- The board is five slots under a peg field.
- You drop one chip. Partner watches. The slot is tonight for food, place, mood, and when.
- Off the board or sitting on a peg is drop-again. Do not write 2.
- Slot n is option n.
Digital is a drop-chip onto the same five slots. Print is a peg board. Same slot, same winners. Say 1–5 if you skip the drop. That is the real a11y path. Deterministic. No random.
