The Rubber Stamp Rebellion: a free turn-based defence game
Lead the office stamps in an uprising against the digital signature regime.
What is The Rubber Stamp Rebellion?
The digital signature regime marches on the stationery cupboard down three corridors. Each turn the stamps VOID, DENY, CARBON COPY or refill the ink, then every signature steps forward. Spend ink where the threat is closest.
The Rubber Stamp Rebellion is a free satire game: e-signatures, certified signatures and notarised e-seals march down three corridors toward the stationery cupboard.
Each turn the stamps take one action, VOID, DENIED, CARBON COPY or a refill of ink, and then every signature steps forward. The skill is hitting the closest threat while keeping enough ink for the next one.

How to play
- Act
- VOID (1 ink), DENIED (2 ink), CARBON COPY (3 ink, every corridor) or refill.

- Three levels
- Beginner, Intermediate or Expert, picked before you play: the content and the clock change, and each level keeps its own best score.
- Satire
- Absurd and warm: every country, office, planet and form is made up, and every run ends on a real admin skill.
Scoring
50 per hit point of signature rejected, 5 per turn, and 50 per morale point left at the end.
Win by finishing every turn with morale above zero.
What it trains
- Prioritising
- Handling the most urgent item first.
- Resource planning
- Keeping a reserve instead of spending it all.
Strategy and tips
- Closest first
- A signature one step from the cupboard matters more than three far away.
- Don't run dry
- Refilling gives +4 ink; doing it on a quiet turn saves a crisis later.
- Carbon copy
- Worth it when all three corridors have something close.
Why play The Rubber Stamp Rebellion?
