You're on vacation in Miami when you accidentally step on someone's foot because you were looking at a model on the beach. Next thing you know, you and your friends are being attacked by a gang! You see an ice cream stand and use it for cover. You're lucky the ice cream stand was a cover-up for criminals - there are many weapons in it!
Work together with other players to survive. Divide your weapons well and balance your ammo. Watch out for the 3 mean bosses!
Gameplay
Everyone starts with HP 10.
Whether you use system A or B, when a pile is empty is stays empty and you don't shuffle the discard pile to get a new pile.
System A
Shuffle all cards in 1 pile. System A gives you more time to reload. One round goes like this:
0 (only do this the first round): Take the pile and hold it face-up. Keep taking cards until you have 5. If you encounter a gang or event card, shuffle once and draw again. Now the next player does this until everyone has 5 non-gang non-event cards. Also during any other part of round 1, shuffle event cards back in the pile.
1 Each player takes a card. If it's a Gang or Event card, put it in the middle of the table in a way so you can see who took which card. Else put it in your hand.
2 Players are free to mix turns now, playing 1 Action and 1 Thing. It's possible to attack attackers attacking other players :)
3 When everyone's done with their turn, if a gang card is still on the table, whatever it says happens to the player that drew that card. The value on the top right of Gang cards is their Attack/HP.
Repeat these steps.
When the pile is empty you've killed the entire gang and win!
System B
System B is harder because it gives you less time to reload but you get most of the weapons in the beginning. If you haven't played before start with system A.
There's a gang pile and a regular pile. Gang pile cards are the ones that say "- Gang". One round goes like this:
0 (only do this the first round): Put all Gang cards together in 1 gang pile and the rest in a regular pile. Everyone takes 5 regular cards.
1 Each player takes a Gang card and puts it in the middle of the table. Place it in a way so you can see who took which card.
2 Each player takes a regular card.
3 Players are free to mix turns now, playing 1 Action and 1 Thing. Each round 1 player can play 1 extra Action (else system B is too difficult). It's possible to attack attackers attacking other players :)
4 When everyone's done with their turn, if a gang card is still on the table, whatever it says happens to the player that drew that card. The value on the top right of Gang cards is their Attack/HP.
Repeat these steps.
When the Gang pile is empty you've killed them all!
Special rules
You can use an Action or a Thing to give a Thing/ammo from your hand or inventory to another player's inventory (not hand). This is crucial to winning so don't forget it!
When you get a weapon, it's already loaded. The x/y value in the top right corner is the 'damage/max ammo that fits in the weapon'.
Event cards take their effect immediately when they're draw. They don't count toward your Action or Thing limit.
Where you place cards is your 'inventory'.
Counters
It's easiest to:
Put counters (dices) on weapons to count your ammo. Use counters (dices) to track the attackers' health and a piece of paper to track the players' health.
Variations
You can't discuss with other players who to shoot.
You can't mix turns.
Use a current weapon/holster system. Basically this means you have to spend an Action switching weapons (not recommended for system B).
Difficulty levels
To make it easier:
Start with HP 15.
To increase the difficulty:
Start with 4 cards.
Don't use the Event - Gang cards - these are in Gang - Nothing (keep Action - Event - Gang).
