Hand cards: 4 sets of animal cards with the numbers 1-6 (24 cards in total).
Gun cards: 5 x click cards, 1 x "Bang! You are dead!" card.
1 wooden pop gun.
Preparation
Each player receives 4 hand cards. Remaining cards are returned to the box. The barrel cards are shuffled and set aside face down. 2 player rules are explained towards the end.
Goal of the game
Be the last player alive.
First stage
Each player chooses a hand card and places it face down in front of him/her. When everyone has chosen a card they are revealed simultaneously. 2 or more cards of the same value are cancelling each other out and the players who have played them therefore cannot win this round. The player with the highest card wins the round and receives all of the played cards. They are placed face up in front of him/her. An exception is when the highest card played is the 6 (elephant) and another player has played the 1 (mouse). As the elephant is afraid of the mouse the mouse beats the elephant (i.e. 1 beats the 6). Tricks are played in this manner until all hand cards are exhausted.
Example (the winner is highlighted in red)
The winning card of each turn is shown in bold; cards that cancel each other out are struck through.
| Turn | Evan | Eliot | Thaïs | Enzo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 6 | ||
| 2 | 2 | 1 | ||
| 3 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 6 |
| 4 |
No one wins the last turn as two sets of cards cancel each other out. The cards are discarded from play.
Second stage
The player with most cards won in the first stage starts followed by the player with the second most cards (you might want to rearrange the seats to allow for a clockwise order). If there is a draw, the values of the cards are added up, followed by the number of cards with the values of 6 and so on.
In the given example the order is: Evan, Thaïs, Enzo and Eliot!
On his turn the player may:
- Turn a gun card over
- Discard one of his cards to shuffle all gun cards back together and then turn a gun card over
- Discard as many cards as remaining players to skip his/her turn
Players who turn the "Bang! You are dead card!" are out of the game. The game continues until only one player remains, he/she is the winner.
Rules for 2 players
Preparation: each player receives 4 hand cards and another 4 cards are dealt to a phantom player.
First stage: As above but including a random card from the phantom player.
Second stage: As above, the phantom player does not take part in this stage.
Extra rule: "Double Click"
This in an optional rule for the second stage of the game. If a player has no cards in front of him and turns a "click" card over he can then choose to turn another card over. If this card is also a "click" card he may steal as many cards as players are remaining from one or more of these players.
