What is a Bit?

In digital technology and computers, a bit is a single value representing a signal ON (bit set to 1) or OFF (bit set to 0). Digital information is stored using a collection of bits of different values. Each bit is organized in sets of 8 bits called a byte.

A byte (8 bits together) is used to represent a value ranging from 0 to 255. When representing text information, each value represents a specifiy character. For example, the letter A on your computer is stored using the decimal value 65 or 01000001 in binary representation.

How to play?

Each NotBit game requires a starting byte. The byte is a sries of 8 bits setup next to each other as shown in the picture. Each player sits on each side of the byte, facing each other. For one player, the value of the byte is 10110001 in bnary or 177 in decimal (use the Potions cards to calculate the number - See Potions to learn more). For the opposite player, the value is 10001101 in binary or 141 in decimal.
