We live in a very complex world, which is quite magical at the same time, because we can define big things in many simple and relative ways.
Ranks is a fuzzy standard for hypo-hypernims and a win-win game that will help you see an accurate picture of yourself and how you see the whole in a very easy way, just by listing a few meaningful words.
Ranks is quite enjoyable playing it alone, but playing it with others it’s even better because it incentivates deep conversations in a pleasant way.

Read about how to play Level I & II. If you have already played them,
you should know what to do with the new set of words given.
RESULTS ANALYSIS
While equilateral triangles are helpful for a further following of the rabbit, no one would dare to say that a 20 degrees triangle is worse than a 237 degrees one. That is why Ranks is a win-win. It means all plays – perspectives – prisms are equally correct. The differences are the different angles that each one is looking at reality at a momment. Ranks will help you see the lines of prisms.
