Additional Info
The Game of Drarry mods invite you to go on holiday this season and play Exploding Snap! Exploding Snap is a Drarry Game/Fest for readers and creators (including writers, artists, and podficcers).

When you sign up, the mods will invite you to the game's Discord server and assign you a team at random to keep the numbers even. There are four teams total.

Mods will deal 7 cards to each player to complete during the game, and players will have to coordinate with their team to decide what completed card they want to play during their team’s turn. Each team can use a card from any of their players, so team cards are counted together. Teams will have roughly twenty-four hours between the time the last card was played and when they must play their card. This will be a fast-paced game where the goal is to get rid of as many cards as possible (until you reach zero, if you can).

How to Play
Some cards are simply reading cards. You'll read a Drarry fic with the listed trope, post a rec on your chosen blog/journal/etc. and submit a link to your rec through an airtable form.

The Exploding Snap cards are creation cards. You can write a short fic within the listed parameters. You can podfic. You can even create art if that’s your chosen medium! But it must be created specifically for the game. It cannot be something that's already posted online.

As the game progresses, your team may be dealt some cards that must be worked on collaboratively, meaning two or more players will have to combine their efforts to play the card. Note that each fic can only be used once per team and all works must be Drarry. They can include other background pairings and characters, even OT3, but Draco + Harry must be the main focus.

To win, all players in a team must play all of their cards (or be the team with the fewest cards on September 1, 2021).

Please see the Players Handbook linked above for additional details, and sign up by June 27th!
