Rules

The Blight Club by-laws, for reference.

Glossary

Terms that are used in the rules of Blight Club.
Blight

The game that must be played during a Blight Club round. Can also describe the sessions during which a Blight is played.

Blighted

The person who has been selected to play a Blight.

Crew

Dan Ryckert, Jeff Grubb, and Mike Minotti.

Standard rules

These rules apply to full-length Blight Club games, typically played by the main crew of Dan Ryckert, Jeff Grubb, and Mike Minotti. These may include mainline Blight Club games as well as full-length spinoffs like Blightning Round and Blight in the Bank. If there is a conflict between two rules, the rule higher on the list takes precedence.
  1. Alex Navarro is the god of Blight Club. All rules are subject to his whim.
  2. Do not bother the god of Blight Club with your mortal squabbles.
  3. No save states.
  4. No cheat codes.
  5. Blights must be played on the normal difficulty.
  6. Blights should be listed as no longer than 12 hours on HowLongToBeat in the "Main Story" category.
  7. If the Blighted quits their Blight, they must play Overblood 2 and The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants to completion.
  8. If the Blighted quits Overblood 2 or The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants they must stream Desert Bus to completion by themselves in one sitting.
  9. Disputes will be settled by majority vote between the Crew.
  10. Doctor notes are allowed if the doctor is not related to the Crew.
  11. The Blighted may not look at chat.

Special rules

These rules apply to spinoff Blight Club series and special cases.
  1. Blight in the Bank is a special privilege that may be earned through a variety of ways, and can be used to start a new Blight immediately. When a player has access to a Blight in the Bank they may deploy it at any time, including during an ongoing Blight. Deploying the Blight in the Bank will disrupt the turn order until the new Blight is complete. All standard rules apply to the Blight in the Bank round.
  2. A Blightning Round is a quickfire Blight round where each Crew member plays one game to completion. Ideally, these Blights should be short enough that they can be completed in a single session. All standard rules apply to a Blightning Round game.
  3. Guest Blight rounds may follow standard rules or relaxed rules depending on the requests of the Crew.
  4. Blights that are played during marathons and charity streams typically do not follow the complete list of standard rules.
