GAMEPLAY PHASES
|
|
|
|
1. 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!
|
|
|
|
2. 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
|
|
|
|
3. Dice Rolling Phase
|
|
- Peril Player rolls the dice
|
|
- Result determines everyone's fate!
|
|
- Roll is displayed on the game board for all to see
|
|

|
|
|
|
DIRECT HIT!
|
|
- The Peril Player picked their own rolled number
|
|

|
|
- If they survive, they remain the Peril Player for next round
|
|
|
|
NO SHIELD!
|
|

|
|
- Peril Player loses 1 life
|
|
- No protection from other players' picks
|
|
|
|
5. Elimination

|
|

|
|

|
|
|

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
|
|
|
|
The game features thematic messaging for maximum immersion:
|
|
|
|
- "[Player] has entered the deadly game! Welcome to your potential doom!"
|
|
- "[Player] steels themselves for the deadly challenge ahead!"
|
|
- "[Player] loses their nerve and backs away from the challenge!"
|
|
- "THE KILLING GAME BEGINS!"
|
|
- "ULTIMATE VICTORY! [Player] is the Ultimate Survivor!"
|
|
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
|
|
STRATEGY TIPS
|
|
|
|
As a Regular 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
|
|
