You're on vacation in Miami when suddenly a gang attacks you and your friends. You all 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.
Systems
Whichever system you use, when a pile is empty is stays empty and you don't shuffle the discard pile to get a new pile.
System A
Mix all the cards together. This system gives you more time to reload.
System B
There's a gang pile and a regular pile. Gang pile cards are the ones that say "- Gang". This system gives you less time to reload but you get most of the weapons in the beginning.
Gameplay
Everyone starts with HP 15.
The game is divided in rounds:
System A
1 Each player takes a card. If it's a Gang card, put it in the middle of the table in a way so you can see who took which Gang 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
1 Put all Gang cards together in 1 gang pile and the rest in a regular pile.
2 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.
3 Each player takes a regular card.
4 Players are free to mix turns now, playing 1 Action and 1 Thing. It's possible to attack attackers attacking other players :)
5 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.
With this system, you may want to use the rule: each round 1 player can play 1 extra Action.
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!
Event cards take their effect immediately when they're draw. They don't count as Actions or Things.
Where you place cards is called the 'inventory'.
Counters
It's easiest to:
Put counters on weapons to count the bullets (best use dices). 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'.
Use counters to track the attackers' health and a piece of paper to track the players' health.
Variations
Each round, 1 player can perform an extra Action.
You can't discuss with the 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).
