November 2025 Monthly Challenge - Surreal Ass Terminator

Official Monthly Challenge for November 2025
Brought to you by the Community Team.

Surreal Ass Terminator



In November 1925, Galerie Pierre opened L’Exposition Surréaliste, one year after the Manifeste du surréalisme.​
Breton announced coats must be checked at the threshold of reason, but reason was already missing.​
Max Ernst’s imaginary birds nested in hats, politely demanding rent in dream coins.​
Joan Miró’s constellations escaped their frames, serving as ceiling lights for bewildered Parisians.​
André Masson sprinkled invisible sand that everyone kept sweeping, proudly cleaning already spotless floors.​
At exactly midnight, a clock melted, decided to be a banana, and slipped out the door.​
Someone asked for directions to reality, and the brochure pointed to Rue Bonaparte, fifth cloud on the left.​
The catalog, prefaced by Breton and Desnos, fluttered like a friendly bat and signed autographs.​
When the lights blinked, the crowd applauded the darkness, agreeing Paris had finally invented useful night.​

FAQs:

Who can play a Challenge?
Challenges are open to everyone!

How do I join?
No signups required. Join and/or create games that meet the given parameters for this month as found in the OP. Only public games count towards the challenge unless otherwise explicitly stated in the challenge OP. There is also a "join games" link in the OP to provide an easy list of qualifying games.

What are the prizes?
All players who meet or exceed the minimum number of required points for the month will earn a Challenge Achievement Medal. The point requirements change every month as we aim to provide a vast assortment of challenges which includes a varying level of difficulty.

When do I get my prize?
In most cases prizes are awarded during the week following the completion of the event.

How do we deal with deadbeating?
Please report deadbeats in your games by sending a PM to groovysmurf and chanakam2020. We will evaluate the distribution of prizes to a violating player on a case by case basis.

Tiebreakers?
Ties are awarded to the player who reached the point threshold first, unless indicated otherwise.

A player has me foed and it is preventing me from joining a lot of challenge games. What can I do?
PM the player in question. Be courteous and non-accusatory, ask why you are foed. Do your best to resolve any issues with the other user in this manner. However, if they decided not to remove you from their foe list then you will need to join games without that player or start your own.

What if I want to run a parallel tournament to the challenge?
Okay, awesome! Individual tournaments can be added to the challenges so that those games drop tokens. Send us a PM and we will get it added for the month. Remember that games that do not complete by the allotted time, will not drop tokens!

Suggestions and Requests
Go here and post if you have any ideas or special requests for future events.

Rulings:
1. Deadbeats will have entry points stripped.
2. NO inviting opponents! (this includes rematch invites) More details can be viewed here.
3. Wins by round limit will drop tokens.
4. Inventory relating to the challenge will vanish at the end of the year.
5. Bot games do not drop tokens.
6. Any unforeseen abuse is still abuse. Don't take advantage of the system.

If you have any further questions or issues not covered here please either post in the active challenge thread or PM groovysmurf and Chanakam2020.

would love to see some speed ones start

Tough Competition when you cant get any games filled. Requiring nothing but 8 player games makes this one a slow starter, the month is half over.

Good point. Let me discuss with Chana and BW and see if we can't get the start time for games extended through December and the deadline for games to finish through January. This could actually work out nicely, as it's unlikely we will have a December challenge unless all the issues from the update have been ironed out.

Okay, so Chana and I discussed and BW has extended the event for us. So, now games must start by 12-31-25 and finish by 1-31-26. Good luck all!

And we MAY do a Scenario challenge in December, depending how the bug issues go.
