Dead Man’s Hand is a 2-8 player party game that combines the classic game of Russian Roulette with the unpredictable nature of card games. At the start of each round, each player draws a card. After the cards are dealt, one random player gets a turn as the Holder. During their turn as the Holder, they may use any cards they have collected to influence the flow of the game. To finish their turn, the Holder chooses a Target to shoot. If the Target survives the ordeal, they get to draw an extra card and the weapon is passed to the next player. The round ends when a bullet is fired, and the survivors go on to the next round.

Dead Man’s Hand features a deck of cards that can be used to change the flow of the game. One card is drawn by every player at the start of a new round. Players who survive being targeted also draw one card after being fired upon.



Should you shoot yourself and try to get an extra card, or should you choose someone else and try to eliminate them? Decisions like these will determine the outcome of the game. Just remember…
