Not Under My Roof is a fast-paced fighting game in which two opponents battle their way through a building. Opponents attack and defend by playing cards and making use of local features such as chairs, tables, brooms, and refrigerators. You will knock each other from room to room until somebody is thrown out of the building. If you're feeling lazy, you can draw a map of your house and move little game pieces around it, but this is a lot less exciting.

• Most players use their right pocket as their draw pile and their left pocket as their discard pile. Once you run out of cards in your draw pile, shuffle your discard pile and switch it to the other pocket.
• Each match should settle a real or made-up dispute you have with your opponents.
• Act out the fight. Movie quality sound effects such as crashes and explosions can be easily and cheaply simulated by using the human mouth. Ham it up, show off your Bruce Lee moves.

Before the Match:

• Building the level - agree on at least two Exits.
• You begin in any room you'd like
• To Win, Stun your opponent by hitting him with an attack. While he's still stunned, knock your opponent through an exit.

During Your Turn:

1. Draw cards until you have 3 in your hand
2. Play as many cards as you'd like, in any order. After you announce your card, discard it and act it out.
3. Discard any cards you don't want

Some cards have an bonus ability you can use if a certain object is handy. In many cases the card will destroy that object, meaning it cannot be used again during this match.
