Heya a while back I came up with a version of killer that could be played at conventions and game gatherings. I cannot find my notes though and I was hoping you guys might help me work out the logistics.
If you've not played killer before its pretty straightforward. You're assigned a target then try eliminate them before you are eliminated. Elimination methods range from drive by shootings with squirtguns, Boobytraps involving balloons and shaving cream, or a shiv in the back (ala kick me sign placed on them), ect. You pull a new target once you've eliminated the last one.
For a convention though squirtguns are going to have too much colladeral damage so I was thinking index (or smaller) cards as weapons. Each weapon would require a specific delivery method. All the weapons whould be one use and should involve some challenge to use effectively.
For example "Bomb"
place this weapon in a game box. This weapon kills the first person to open the box after.
Or
"Poison Ring"
Shake hands with someone with this card in your hand. The poison ring kills that person
Also I have to decide the logistics of gameplay (which is challenging since I'm not positive wht the crowd will be like)
What happens if you fail in your attempt and are exposed?
Can you accidentally kill people you're not assaingned (I'm thinking no- it might break the game)
If you succede, do you get your victims target as your new target? If so what happens when you draw yourself? (yes, and probably pull a new target know that you're safe from elimanation)
Should this be playing in teams but without knowledge who your team mates are (ala bang?)
Any thoughts on the game idea would be appreciated
