Rules (Simplified):

• At the beginning of each player’s turn, they draw 2 item cards
• If a player has an “Extra Turn”, they draw 1 item card instead of 2
• Each player has two actions, which may be used to play cards
• To end a player’s turn, they must select a target. That target draws a Shell from the Shotgun and suffers the effects of that shell
• Each player has 6 Health. When a player’s health reaches 0, that player dies
• The Last Player standing wins.

Rules:

Beginning the Game:

• To start, shuffle the Shells (1 Live round + 1 Live and 2 Blanks per player) and place them in a pile. This is your “Magazine”
• Shuffle the item cards together and place them in a pile. This is your Item pile
• Choose a player to go first through whatever means you’d like.
• When that player has finished their turn, play then passes counterclockwise
• Play continues until only one player remains

Cards:

• At the beginning of a player’s turn, they must draw 2 cards from the item deck
• If a player has the maximum number of cards in their hand and must draw a card, they instead may choose to either:
  • Discard that many cards and draw as usual
  • Not draw cards at all
• Each card that must be drawn prompts this choice individually
• On an “Extra Turn”, a player only draws one card instead of two
• The maximum number of cards a player can have in their hand is 6
• Each player has 2 actions on their turn that may be used to play cards
• Every card takes 1 action to use unless otherwise specified or if it isn’t played on your turn. If a card isn’t played on your turn, it costs No actions
• Cards are discarded after being played
• The discard pile may be reshuffled into the deck at any point

Health:

• Whenever a player takes damage, they reduce their health depending on how much damage was done
• When a player’s health reaches 0, they are out of the game and may no longer take turns

The Shotgun

• To “Fire” the shotgun, select a player to target and reveal the top card from the Magazine. Then, apply the effects of the revealed shell to your target
• You must choose your target BEFORE firing
• You may target yourself when firing
• Firing the shotgun ends your turn
• Unless otherwise stated, you MUST fire the shotgun in order to end your turn
• Once the Magazine is Empty, reshuffle the fired shells and continue playing.
