Gameplay

Players take turns being the Active player. Turn order is clockwise. Each turn has 3 phases.

1. Roll a die and create a Deadly Number

Combine "a number on a die" with "a number on 1-2 cards" in the player's hand. Using only: Adding [+], Subtracting [-], Multiplying [X] or Dividing [÷].

Example: Deadly Number 3 + 1 = 4.

Discard the used number cards and place the die on a Deadly Number card.

Other players except the Active player lose a finger which matches the Deadly Number. [Folding the finger down.]

Note: the Active player may choose not to create a Deadly Number. Then that round skips to [Phase 3] Draw card phase without any cut.

2. Using Tool phase

All players may use cards on hand which have a number matching the "Deadly Number".

Start from the Active player and go clockwise until every player has taken a turn.

• Red Knife: Cutting another player's finger.
• Blue Bandage: Healing a cut finger back.
• Purple Stun Gun: Stunning a player. Skip that player from being Active player 1 time.
• Yellow Trap: Random discard a card from another player's hand.
• White: Can't use as a tool.

3. Survivors Draw Card phase

A player without a finger left dies [left the game]. Living players draw 1 card from a drawing pile. Then the left play becomes an active player.

Game End

When there is only 1 player left in the game, the game ends and that player survives.

If the drawing pile is empty, only the player who has the most fingers left will survive. Other players die.
