	The premise of the game is interestingly original. Some kind of sickness, or magic spell, or what-have-you is on a yearly cycle, secretly changing (or "Changing") a set number of ordinary human beings into anthropomorphic "furries" every year on August 17th. (This review is pretty timely, no?) These furries still look perfectly normal after they're Changed (except to other Changed-furries) but their feet leave animal tracks and their claws or horns can still hurt people, so they have to be careful what they do.

	To make matters "worse," some of these beknighted souls find they've Changed gender, too—a once-male human might turn into a female bear, say—but everyone around them still sees them as the male human they used to be. Sometimes the change happens ~~multiple times,~~ once a year, with the Changed changing again into some other animal (or gender). Talk about awkward!		To make matters "worse," some of these beknighted souls find they've Changed gender, too—a once-male human might turn into a female anthro-bear, say—but everyone around them still sees them as the male human they used to be. Sometimes the change happens once a year, ''every'' year, with the Changed changing again the next August 17th into some other animal (or gender). Talk about awkward!

	The Change started in 1987 with just one person, then doubled every year like the famous story about [[wikipedia:Wheat and chessboard problem\|grains of wheat on a chessboard]]. According to the chart on page 7, this means there would currently be 131,584 secret furries in the world, and tomorrow we'd add 131,584 more—and by 2020, everyone in the world will be furry. (Invest in hairbrush companies, folks.)

	<blockquote>Don't believe the disclaimer. This is not a game. This is real. Sure, we included rules and tables and stuff—but that was only for camouflage, to get this into print. (Shh! Don't tell our publisher.) The Change is real, and this book is your guide to surviving it. Keep it close by every August, because if you don't end up needing it soon, odds are someone you know will within the next five years or so. You may not believe me now—but hopefully you'll remember this next time someone gets the flu exactly on August 15th…</blockquote>		<blockquote>Don't believe the disclaimer. This is not a game.
