Rules in 60 seconds

    Everyone gets 6 cards in hand and 6 face-down in reserve.

  2. 02Tactics

    Each round, draw a tactic card: attack, sabotage or save your skin.

  3. 03Roll

    Roll the d12 and dump cards that add up to it: rolled 7 — drop 3 + 4.

  4. 04Drink

    Booze cards like Headshot, Duel and Roulette hand out shots. Sober table? Pull them out before the game.

  5. 05Win

    First to empty both hand and reserve wins — and mixes a cocktail for the losers.
