What is Team Kill

(From the introduction in the rules)

You were all looking forward to your class trip. You'd spent so much time raising money so you'd be able to afford a trip to a tropical island. However, on the boat ride out you are all gassed. When you wake up some anonymous men instruct you that you will compete in a Battle Royal, where only the sole survivor will be allowed to leave the island. One by one, you get to pick up a back pack with one random item within, and leave and set out on the island. What terror!

How will you survive this terrible ordeal? You open up your bag, your stomach churns at the sight of what's inside. How will you be able to survive, knowing your neither the strongest nor the smartest in the class...

Team Kill is a social party game of negotiation, bluffing and tactics loosely based on the Japanese movie [i]Battle Royal[/i]. At the start of the game each player is dealt one card with a printed value on it (from 0 to 32). Players take turns interacting in "confrontations", i.e. making a fist and simultaneously making a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. Thumbs down will result in a violent confrontation where the players try to kill each other by comparing cards, eliminating the player with the lower value. Thumbs up will let players form teams, whose card values are then summed in later confrontations. Often though, one player will do a thumbs-up, while the other will do a thumbs-down. In those cases, the teaming player is instantly "team killed".
