↳ ❝ 𝄞 SCP-3677 : PLAYING CARDS ¡! ❞

File SCP-3677 Object No.: SCP-3677

Object class: Euclid

Special conditions of detention: SCP-3677 is to be stored in a Class B lockable safe in Area 19. Access to the facility is allowed only to employees of level 2 and above with the written permission of the project supervisor. Any experiments with SCP-3677 must be conducted in a specially equipped room with tables and chairs fixed to the floor. The personnel involved in the experiments must be instructed on safety measures and sign a consent form.

Description: SCP-3677 consists of a deck of 52 playing cards of the standard French suit (spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs) and two jokers. Visually, the cards do not differ from the usual ones, with the exception of a barely noticeable pattern on the shirt — intertwined lines resembling chains. The material of the cards is identical to standard playing cards, but they cannot be physically destroyed by conventional means.

Abnormal properties: SCP-3677 exhibits abnormal properties when starting any card game using at least one card from the deck. The anomaly is activated at the moment when the players agree on the rules of the game and make the first move.

Abnormal effects:

Linking to a place. As soon as the game starts, all participants are physically tied to their seats. Attempts to get up from the table lead to a feeling of strong resistance, comparable to the tension of elastic cables. The strength of the resistance increases in proportion to the participant's efforts. The effect persists until the end of the game.

** The obligation to fulfill a wish.** At the end of the game, the loser must fulfill one reasonable wish of the winner (within the limits of physical and legal possibilities). If the loser refuses or cannot fulfill the requirement, both players remain tied to the table. The effect persists until the condition is met.

Interruption limit. The game cannot be interrupted or stopped without completing the game. Attempts to remove the cards from the table, leave the room, or otherwise interrupt the process lead to an increased binding effect.

Incident 3677‐A (experimental protocols):

Date: ██.██.20██

Participants: Dr. ██████ (researcher), Agent ████ (volunteer)

Game: "Fool" (simple version)

The course of the experiment: Dr. ██████ won the game. His wish: "The agent should bring me a cup of coffee from the dining room." The agent tried to refuse, citing his busy schedule. Both participants remained tied to the table for 4 hours until the agent fulfilled the requirement. After that, the effect disappeared.

Additional observations:

The anomaly is not activated if the cards are not used for playing (for example, for magic tricks or playing solitaire without rules).

The effect only applies to those who are directly involved in the game. Observers are not affected.

Desires that contradict the law or morality do not activate the anomaly — in such cases, the game ends without consequences.

The deck automatically replenishes lost cards: if a card is removed from the game, it appears in the deck after the end of the game.

Appendix 3677-1 (recommendations for safe use):

Before starting the game, clearly specify the rules and conditions of victory.

Avoid games with uncertain outcomes (such as endless solitaire games).

The winner must formulate desires that can be fulfilled within a reasonable time.

In case of technical problems (power outage, etc.), it is recommended to end the game with a symbolic move.

Curator's Note: SCP-3677 exhibits features of a "contractual" anomaly, where the terms of an agreement become physical law for the participants. It is recommended to limit experiments to games with a clear ending (poker, blackjack, fool). Avoid complex multi-pass games to minimize the risks of prolonged incidents. — Dr. ██████

<Character — D-9341>

Identification number: D‐9341

Name: Ivan Sergeevich Morozov (used before being assigned to Class D)

Date of birth: ██.19

Gender: Male

Race/ethnicity: Caucasian

Height: 182 cm

Weight: 78 of

Hair color: dark brown

Eye color: gray‐blue

Special features: a small 2.5 cm long scar above the left eyebrow; a faded compass tattoo on the left forearm.

Physical fitness: above average, regularly engaged in strength training before appointment.

Psychological profile: balanced, inclined to a rational analysis of the situation. It exhibits moderate stress tolerance, but under conditions of prolonged pressure, outbursts of irritability are possible.

History before being assigned to Class D: Prior to enrolling in Class D, Ivan Morozov worked as a design engineer for a private company engaged in the design of industrial equipment. He was convicted under the article for causing serious harm to health during a domestic conflict (sentence — 12 years in prison). He was transferred to the SCP Foundation as part of the Rehabilitation through Service program after applying for a commutation of punishment.

Assignment to Class D:

Date of enrollment: ██.██.20

Place of detention: Zone 19, block D‐sector

Status: active

Access level: zero (complete ban on access to information about abnormal objects, except in cases of direct participation in testing)

Testing behavior:

Shows diligence with a clear statement of tasks.

In experiments with low-risk objects, he demonstrates the ability to quickly learn and adapt.

Avoids conflicts with security and scientific staff.

When working with objects of the "Euclid" class, he tends to be cautious, sometimes slowing down the execution of instructions due to rechecking safety conditions.

Restrictions and precautions:

When testing objects with psychological effects, monitoring of EEG and heart rate indicators is mandatory.

Participation in experiments requiring strategic decisions or negotiations is not allowed.

Current status: He is in stable physical and mental condition. He undergoes monthly psychological evaluations. Over the past 6 months, there has been one case of regime violation (an attempt to contact a researcher outside of a work situation), and the punishment is 72 hours of isolation.

Curator's note: D‐9341 demonstrates the potential to participate in controlled experiments with low-risk subjects. It is recommended to use it in tests that require accuracy and care, avoiding situations with a high level of uncertainty or moral choice. — Dr. ██████
