No Game No Life's power system is the Ten Pledges — absolute rules that govern all of Disboard. Games are the law. Cheating is allowed as long as you don't get caught. Strategy, psychology, and intelligence are the primary "powers."

The Ten Pledges

  1. In this world, all bloodshed, war, and pillaging is forbidden.
  2. All conflicts shall be resolved through games.
  3. Games must be played with both parties wagering something of equal value.
  4. As long as it doesn't violate pledge 3, anything may be wagered.
  5. The challenged party determines the game.
  6. Bets made in accordance with the pledges must be upheld.
  7. Conflicts between groups must be decided by a representative.
  8. Being caught cheating is grounds for an immediate loss.
  9. In the name of god, the above pledges shall never be violated.
  10. Let's all have fun and play together.
