How To Play Nay Saga

About Nay Saga, from BoardGameGeek:

Mahesa "Mr Dude" Koroshiya is a time traveling World Leader who records major events revolving around a group of kids known as The Nays, throughout various timelines. Izumi, a Party Sanctuary World Official, has tasked Mr Dude with an assignment to create a chronology of everyone in The Worlds who has come in contact with The Nays on their journey to become World Leaders. The Nays have worked together and had conflicts during their times in The Worlds. Mr Dude contacted some fellow time travelers and important figures in The Worlds to help him gather together as many people as they can to help him with this project. The group must work together and sometimes compete against each other to find the best matches and ultimate team who will work together during the final "incident". Many World Leaders have alluded to the return of the first Nay, CourtNay, who plans to bring ruin and destroy The Worlds in revenge. It's up to Mr Dude and the others to find the best team who will work together in the end to defeat CourtNay and seal her back away in the Timeless Abyss. Mr Dude calls upon Val, Clove, Yaguzi, Malik, and Rotle to help him through this journey. Each of them has a different approach to finding the ideal candidates. When they do find their winning team of their chosen challenge, they'll bring the winners along with them on their Linkship. To start, Mr Dude tasks participants with guessing the chosen character based on a series of hints and questions leading to the traits and types mentioned. Val pulls everyone together to find a team that shares at least 1 trait in common together. Clove looks for groups who share common traits and builds upon those. Yaguzi brings conflict into the group to fight until all forces have gone to battle. Malik tests the limits of the group and selects the one who can match the chosen Nay the most to build upon a team of those in common. Rotle leads the final battle against CourtNay by bringing the elite winners of the previous rounds together. Those who can't relate to the M, S, and R team leaders will be defeated by CourtNay and sent into the Timeless Abyss. Now it's your turn to go forth and help Mr Dude and the others find these teams to bring to the final battle! -description from the designer
