In this chapter, we learn that the game of pick-me-and-you-die is not a traditional game of the old maid, but rather a game of cards with "punishments" on them. In other words, there are cards that are so bad that they can't be played, but there are also good cards that can be played. The only problem with this game, according to the narrator, is that the players don't know when they are going to die. The narrator says that he and his friend, chan, came up with the game because they didn't want to play a match with the other players.
