Altercation is a game I created about a year ago, originally I invented it just to play with family and friends. The more people I showed it to, the more the positive response grew.  After getting enough requests for my home made versions I decided to pursue production. 

Contents:

50 cards 

Number of Players 2 to 5 (for 6 to 8 players use two decks) 

Object of the game:

Players win the game by either Knocking Out all other players 

Or 

By being the player with a  Point Total(PT) Closest to the Target 

Number (TN) (in either direction) when all cards have been played from 

the deck and all players hands

How to Play: 

1. Calculate  Point Total (PT): Roll the 4 dice add the total 

together: That is all players starting PT. 

2. Calculate Target Number (TN): Roll 3 dice and add the total. This is 

the number everyone is trying to get closest to by the end of the 

game. 

3. Decide who plays first. Roll a dice, Flip a coin, etc.  

4. Shuffle the Deck and Deal each Player 5 cards. 

5. Place the deck face down in the middle of the table. 

6. The first player takes their Turn and play continues to the next 

player on the left.  

Turn:

Step 1: Draw cards until you have 5 in you hand (skip this step on 

the first turn) 

Step 2: Do 1 of the following 2 options: 

1. Play a card. Choose a player and play a Lose, Gain, (put this 

card in the Throw Away pile next to the deck after addition or 

subtraction takes place) or Defender Card (play this card in 

front of you) 

2. Throw Away  1 Card and Draw 1 new Card 

Step 3: End of Turn

 Standard Rules:

1. If a player is targeted by a Lose card, they subtract the amount on 

the card from their PT (unless a NO! card is played) 

2. If a player is targeted by a Gain card, they add the amount on the 

card to their PT. 

3. If a player reaches 0 VPT they are considered Knocked Out and 

they are out of the game.
