Crib Defense

You are three hours old. You can't talk β€” but you can coo, cry, and grip a finger. Above your crib, a doctor is working on your parent with every sales trick in the chart. Spend your influence wisely: waste your loudest wail on an argument your parent would have swatted away anyway, and you'll have nothing left when the real pressure comes.

Where were you born? (sets the ward for both modes β€” harder for the baby is easier for the doctor)

This game critiques medical misinformation, not religious belief β€” the argument here is with the sales pitch, not with faith.

A satirical, non-graphic persuasion game arguing that routine infant circumcision is medically unnecessary and often sold with exaggerated or misleading claims. The "doctor" is a caricature of bad incentives, not of real clinicians. Debunk notes at the end simplify real statistics β€” see the debrief for context. Difficulty regions reflect how common the procedure is locally and how much cultural weight sits behind it β€” a comment on prevalence and pressure, not a judgment of any family or faith.

Debrief notes are simplified summaries of a critical position on routine infant circumcision (relative-vs-absolute risk framing, rarity of medical necessity, newborn pain research, and manufactured urgency). Numbers are approximate and contested in places β€” treat this game as a conversation starter, not medical advice. Real decisions deserve unhurried research and a provider with no stake in the answer.
