Here, we will be breaking each and every rule of The Culling Game and how it will affect every participant in the game.
What is The Culling Game in Jujutsu Kaisen?
To summarize the details, The Culling Game is a deathmatch between sorcerers and non-sorcerers, also known as players. After joining the game, each player will have to kill the other players to gain points and survive. The game has already set a total of 8 rules, but like what is mentioned above, players can add a new rule to the game. Before a new rule is added, they are being reviewed by the game organizer. Basically, this game is a battle royale between the players.
What are the rules of The Culling Game?
By default, the Sacrifice Game has eight specific rules that each participant must follow. But as the manga continues, it has been seen that players continually add new rules. Here is the list of rules and how it works in Jujutsu Kaisen.
The Culling Game Default Rules
- After awakening a cursed technique, players must declare their participation in the culling game at a barrier of their choice within 19 days.

- Non-players who enter the colony become players at the moment of entry and shall be considered to have declared participation in the culling game.
- Players score points by ending the lives of other players.
- Points are determined by the game master and indicate the value of a player’s life. As a general rule, sorcerers are worth 5 points, and non-sorcerers are worth 1 point.
- Excluding the point value of a player’s own life, players may expend 100 points to negotiate with the game master to add one new rule to the culling game.
- In accordance with the previous rule, the game master must accept any proposed new rule unless it has a marked and long-lasting effect on the culling game.
- If a player’s score remains the same for 19 days, that player shall be subject to cursed technique removal.
