Setup
Choose a Moderator: This person will oversee the game, assign targets, and manage the game's progression. Prepare Contracts: The moderator writes each player's name (and optionally, a photo) on individual cards. These are the contracts. Select Weapons: Each player chooses a unique, non-dangerous item to be their 'weapon'. The moderator records each player's weapon choice. Distribute Contracts: The moderator gives each player one contract, which must be kept a secret. This contract is the player's initial target.
How to Play
Pursue Your Target: Players attempt to isolate their target and 'assassinate' them by showing their weapon and contract card. Confirm the Kill: Once a player has 'assassinated' their target, they take their contract and their own contract to the moderator. Get New Contract: The moderator gives the successful 'assassin' a new contract from the player who was just 'eliminated'. Continue the Game: The game continues in this manner, with players 'assassinating' targets and receiving new contracts. The moderator does not reveal how many players are left or who has been 'eliminated'. Final Face-Off: When only two players remain, the moderator sets up a final face-off challenge. This could be a quick game or a competition. Declare the Winner: The player who wins the final face-off is the winner of the whole game.
