Thesis: This game is about the same objects living in many true orders, felt as the click of a drawer that is no longer the drawer, decided by whether you close the shelf now or spend a rare key to refile it.
What the crude pitch was:receive a list, put it in a set order — alphabetize, smallest to largest, lightest to heaviest, earliest to most recent, lowest atomic number, groupings. That is a quiz if the ranks are hidden, and Uno-with-facts if they are not. The refinery killed the quiz and kept the verbs: file, stack, refile, close. Sibling game (one true order, years off the faces): LONG BEFORE.
