The goal is simple: be the last one standing. Each player must manage the Revolver tokens and their three Skill tokens. The Skill tokens represent both the player's abilities and their remaining lives, which they must preserve to stay in the game. This game is not for the faint of heart... On your turn, either shoot (the stack of tokens has 7 "clicks" and 1 "bang!") or activate one of your 3 skills (which will be turned face down). Skills can range from passing the turn to another person and reordering the stack of shots to cancelling another skill or making someone shoot twice. If you reveal a "click" when shooting, you will turn one of your skill tokens face up. If you reveal a "bang!", you will lose one of your face-up skill tokens. A player will be eliminated if they reveal a "bang!" and all their tokens are face down or if they have no tokens left... until only one player remains. Your head makes all the decisions, but your heart has the final say.
