Steve Jackson Games Proteus - SJG1132

Steve Jackson Games' Proteus (SJG1132) is a tabletop card game that generates a different game experience every time you play, using a single deck to create hundreds of possible rule combinations. Designed for 2 or more players, Proteus is suitable for ages 10 and up, with each session typically running 15 to 30 minutes. The concept is built around variability — the cards themselves determine the game's rules, scoring, and win conditions before play begins, so no two games unfold the same way. It's a compact, replayable design that suits casual gamers, families, and anyone who enjoys games that reward adaptability.
