rum games does not have a giant rulebook because this is a game venue, not a municipal tax code.
the only rule
abide by wheaton’s law:
don’t be a dick.
what that means here
- be decent to other players
- don’t harass people
- don’t start drama at the tables
- don’t grief, spam, or intentionally disrupt games
- don’t make the vibe worse on purpose
- if someone is new, let them learn without turning into a rules gargoyle
- if there is a problem, handle it like a person with indoor plumbing
table etiquette
- join games respectfully
- ask before jumping into something if you are unsure
- be patient with lag, mistakes, and learning curves
- don’t rage-quit in a way that detonates the room
- trash talk should stay playful, not personal
vibe check
rum games is a casual hangout with games attached.
the goal is simple:
- play games
- relax
- laugh
- meet people
- keep the place comfortable enough that folks want to come back
staff/admin judgment
if something technically fits inside the rules but clearly violates the spirit of the place, staff/admin judgment applies.
the spirit is:
don’t make yourself everyone else’s problem.
for help
game problems

- griefers left stuff everywhere
people problems
this could be:
- people standing on your table and won’t move
- racist, xenophobic, bigoted insults/attacks
- people wearing attachments that are clearly causing lag and wont remove them when asked nicely (thats basically griefing in our opinion)
