What is Culling Game?

What are the rules of Culling Game?

The rules of Culling Game include that the players have to declare their participation within 19 days of the cursed technique being awakened. The players have to kill each other, but of course, the sorcerers are worth more points. It is to be noted that the players can also add new rules to the game if they spend 100 points. The results show up in 19 days, and failure to earn any points means no access to the cursed techniques. The ultimate goal, of course, is to erase the gap between humans and curses. That is what Gojo’s mentees aim to achieve.
