OK, 3 player game idea. Let's test this out.
THE ECSTASY OF SILVERA western themed not-quite-a-mafia by JubalDRAMATIS PERSONAE (And win conditions)Jack Atkin: Wins by surviving to endgame with the Scar dead and 3+ clues held by remaining players.
La Musaraña: Survive to endgame with 3+ clues held by remaining players. You must hold more clues than any other remaining player to win.
The Scar: Survive to endgame with Atkin dead and 2+ clues held by remaining players.
CLUES: these are items or bits of knowledge that will ultimately lead you to the prize - however, the more of them you hold, the slower your reactions - more things in your pockets, or ideas buzzing round in your head, which can be fatal in a shootout. The order of gunshots in R3 is thus determined such that the person with
fewest clues goes first.
All player actions are taken in secret, but the players can publicly discuss things in each round. The round ends as soon as all three players have submitted an action.
ORDER OF PLAYRound 1: Fire Bush GulchAll: Give 1 clue to another player.
All players will then be informed how many clues they have.
Round 2: The SaloonAtkin: Unload 1 other player's primary gun, making it useless in the shootout, AND give 1 clue to another player.
LM: Steal up to 2 clues from one other player AND give 1 clue to another player
Scar: Load a second gun (which may be fired at a person of Scar's choice AFTER all 3 players have fired their first shot), AND give 1 clue to another player.
All players will be again informed how many clues they have.
Round 3: Mexican StandoffShootout. Each player decides who to shoot.
Nb that simultaneous shots CAN happen.
Results of the game will then be announced.
If everyone is happy with this, then I'll write up the starting thing and distribute the roles
