How to play
- A random turn order is set. The barrel has twice as many slots as players (at least 6, at most 16).
- On your turn, pick an empty slot within 8 seconds, or one is picked for you.
- There is exactly one trap slot, and only the server knows where it is.
- Whoever makes the pirate pop loses.
Great for
- Watching the tension build turn by turn
- Smaller groups
Tips
- Every safe stab makes the next one riskier. The later your turn, the shakier your hands.
Points and the unluckiest player
- The last-place player in each game gets 3 unlucky points. With 4 or more players, second-to-last gets 2 and third-to-last gets 1.
- The final game counts double, so a comeback is always possible.
- After the last game, whoever has the most points is crowned "Today’s unluckiest". Ties are settled with a sudden-death Card Flip.
- The host can tap "One more round" to start again with the same group right away.
