Silence or Music | How to Play

About 静寂または音楽 (Silence or Music), from BoardGameGeek:

In this hauntingly poetic take on Daifug, passing is no longer a retreat, it's a statement. Silence may grant you privilege, and music may trap you in noise. Whether you hold a powerful hand or barely a chance, every move echoes with meaning. Will you claim initiative through restraint, or roar forward into chaos? In this game, the ones who hesitate are the ones who fall. Silence or Music is a climbing game with a twist on traditional pass mechanics. When a player passes, they gain early access to unique bonuses such as becoming the next starting player or gaining extra cards. The last player to play gains the chance to discard their weakest cards. The game invites bold plays, deceptive restraint, and ruthless punishment of half-measures.
