The goal
Survive four rounds with as much HP as you can. Hit zero and you're out.
How it plays
- 1Everyone joins one room on their own phone and receives a secret identity card, 20 HP, and one hunting card for each seat number.
- 2Free phase: any two players who both agree can trade HP and hunting cards.
- 3Hunting phase: to attack a seat, spend that seat's card. Identities decide the winner: K beats Q, Q beats J, J beats K; on a tie in rank, spades beat hearts, hearts beat clubs, clubs beat spades. The JOKER always wins attacking and always loses defending.
- 4The winner gains HP and the loser loses the same amount. Damage climbs every round.
- 5Evolution phase: bid HP for skills.
How you win
After four rounds the survivors are ranked by HP. Knock someone out and you take their cards plus 3 HP.
First time?
- Keep your identity quiet. Once people work it out, whoever beats you will come hunting.
- Hunting cards are currency. Talk and trade during the free phase.
- Skills cost HP. Don't bid yourself down to a sliver.
