| - The game usually takes place in a stadium which is often referred to as the "ghetto", someone's basement, or a kids park. The game starts with the Addict and Pusherman on the playing field, trying to avoid being "arrested" by the cops (one of which may be undercover). From here, the game can take many different directions.
- Drug Addiction is a situation where a significant number of citizens - mostly youths - are becoming addicted to hard drugs, upsetting Parents, raising the Crime rate, and causing a drop in the average Lifespan and Productivity. The main cause of drug addiction are permissive laws regarding Narcotics and rampant Unemployment convincing people to turn to drugs. Curtailing drug laws or reducing unemployment can help reduce the number of addicts, as can having a highly paid Police Force or a well-funded State Health Service.
- Earth tobacco was a deadly drug capable of destroying the internal organs. It was nonetheless used because it was highly addictive. (DS9: "Little Green Men") In 2154, T'Pol became addicted to Trellium-D. When asked by Dr. Phlox when she realized she was addicted, she explained that two days previous, she experienced agitation, anxiety and withdrawal symptoms upon being unable to access Enterprise NX-01's supply in the cargo bay. (ENT: "Damage")
- Deliriant dependency. Addicts become dependent on a deliriant poison and must make a WP test every day in order to resist the craving. If the test is failed, they will do everything in their power to obtain the drug and take it immediately. They must make another WP test once the effects have finished in order to resist taking another dose immediately. When characters develop an addiction through excessive use of deliriants, the addiction will be to the drug (or one of the drugs) they have been using. Where it is necessary to determine an addiction randomly, use the following chart:

- Earth tobacco was a deadly drug capable of destroying the internal organs. It was nonetheless used because it was highly addictive. (DS9: "Little Green Men") In 2154, T'Pol became addicted to Trellium-D. When asked by Dr. Phlox when she realized she was addicted, she explained that two days previous, she experienced agitation, anxiety and withdrawal symptoms upon being unable to access Enterprise NX-01's supply in the cargo bay. (ENT: "Damage") The entire Ornaran population was addicted to felicium, originally introduced as a vaccine to a plague that hit them in the 22nd century. Until the 24th century, they continued to confuse the withdrawal pains for the continued existence of this plague. (TNG: "Symbiosis" ) In 2370, a hologram of Dr. Phlox explained to Chef (William T. Riker) that if Trip Tucker hadn't agreed to Vulcan neuro-pressure treatments from T'Pol, he would've become addicted to sedatives instead. (ENT: "These Are the Voyages...") The Jem'Hadar were addicted to ketracel-white. In 2372, one named Goran'Agar believed himself cured of his addiction, surmising that something about the planet Bopak III had cured him. This prompted him to ask for a stranded Julian Bashir to help him break the addiction of his fellow Jem'Hadar. In reality, his own body was secreting the drug. (DS9: "The Abandoned", "Hippocratic Oath") In 2373, Miles O'Brien expressed his desire to wean pregnant surrogate mother Kira Nerys off caffeine rather than poisoning her with Quark's coffee substitute, Quarktajino. Hearing this, Nerys complained that he made sound like an addict. Jadzia Dax added that the major only drank two a day. O'Brien clarified that he didn't want his son to be born with a caffeine habit.

- Deliriant dependency. Addicts become dependent on a deliriant poison and must make a WP test every day in order to resist the craving. If the test is failed, they will do everything in their power to obtain the drug and take it immediately. They must make another WP test once the effects have finished in order to resist taking another dose immediately. Characters who fail a WP test when the drug is not available suffer penalties of 10% to Ld, Int, Cl, WP, and Fel until they can take a single dose of the drug. One dose will restore the character's profile to normal during the drug's normal period of effect. If a second dose is taken during this time, it has no effect on the profile, but the character suffers the normal effects of the drug, as well as running the risk of gaining additional insanity points. When characters develop an addiction through excessive use of deliriants, the addiction will be to the drug (or one of the drugs) they have been using. Where it is necessary to determine an addiction randomly, use the following chart:
- Drug Addiction is a situation where a significant number of citizens - mostly youths - are becoming addicted to hard drugs, upsetting Parents, raising the Crime rate, and causing a drop in the average Lifespan and Productivity. The main cause of drug addiction are permissive laws regarding Narcotics and rampant Unemployment convincing people to turn to drugs.
