|
||

|
||
|
||
## ⚙️ **SETUP**
|
||
|
||
### **Players**
|
||
- **2-10 players** can join the game

|
||
|
||
## 🎮 **GAMEPLAY PHASES**
|
||
|
||
### **1️⃣ Ready Phase**
|
||
- All players (except game starter) must mark themselves **"Ready"**
|
||
- Game starter can begin once everyone is prepared
|
||
- No joining allowed once the killing game begins! 🚫
|
||
|
||
### **2️⃣ Number Picking Phase**
|
||
Players pick numbers based on the **Peril Player's remaining lives**:
|
||
|
||
| Peril Player's Lives | Numbers Each Player Must Pick |
|
||
|---------------------|-------------------------------|
|
||
| ❤️❤️❤️ (3 lives) | **1 number** |
|
||
| ❤️❤️ (2 lives) | **2 numbers** |
|
||
| ❤️ (1 life) | **3 numbers** |
|
||
|
||
**Picking Order:**
|
||
1. **Peril Player** picks first
|
||
2. All other players pick in sequence
|
||
3. **No duplicate picks** - each number can only be chosen once per round
|
||
|
||
### **3️⃣ Dice Rolling Phase**
|
||
- **Peril Player** rolls the dice
|
||
- Result determines everyone's fate!
|
||
- Roll is displayed on the game board for all to see
|
||
|
||
### **4️⃣ Resolution Phase**
|
||
Three possible outcomes based on the dice roll:
|
||
|
||
#### 🔄 **PLOT TWIST!**
|
||
- Someone **OTHER than the Peril Player** picked the rolled number
|
||
- **That player becomes the new Peril Player**
|
||
- No lives lost this round
|
||
- Game continues with new Peril Player
|
||
|
||
#### 🩸 **DIRECT HIT!**
|
||
- The **Peril Player picked their own rolled number**
|
||
- Peril Player **loses 1 life** ❤️ → 💔
|
||
- If they survive, they remain the Peril Player for next round
|
||
|
||
#### 🩸 **NO SHIELD!**
|
||
- **Nobody picked the rolled number**
|
||
- Peril Player **loses 1 life** ❤️ → 💔
|
||
- No protection from other players' picks
|
||
|
||
### **5️⃣ Elimination**
|
||
- Players with **0 lives** are eliminated from the game 💀
|
||
- Eliminated players cannot return
|
||
- Game continues with remaining survivors
|
||
|
||
### **6️⃣ Victory**

|
||
## 🎲 **DICE SCALING SYSTEM**
|
||
|
||
The game automatically selects appropriate dice to ensure fair gameplay:
|
||
|
||
| Number of Players | Dice Type | Total Numbers Available |
|
||
|------------------|-----------|----------------------|
|
||
| 1-2 players | **d6** | 6 numbers (1-6) |
|
||
| 3-4 players | **d12** | 12 numbers (1-12) |
|
||
| 5-6 players | **d20** | 20 numbers (1-20) |
|
||
| 7-10 players | **d30** | 30 numbers (1-30) |
|
||
|
||
*This ensures exactly 3 numbers per player are always available*
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## 🎭 **DRAMATIC ANNOUNCEMENTS**
|
||
|
||

|

|
||
## 🎯 **STRATEGY TIPS**
|
||
|
||
### **As a Regular Player:**
|
||
- **Pick numbers that others are likely to avoid** to increase Plot Twist chances
|
||
- **All numbers** (1 through dice maximum) have equal probability of being rolled
|
||
- **Watch the Peril Player's lives** - affects how many numbers you must pick
|
||
|
||
### **As the Peril Player:**
|
||
- **Avoid common/popular numbers** that others might pick
|
||
- **Pick edge numbers** (1, maximum die value) for better survival odds
|
||
- **Remember**: The more lives you have, the fewer numbers others pick (easier to avoid)
|
||
|
||
### **Advanced Tactics:**
|
||
- **Psychological warfare** - discuss picks to influence others
|
||
- **Alliance forming** - temporary cooperation to eliminate threats
|
||
- **Risk assessment** - calculate odds based on remaining numbers
