Coup: G54: Rebellion
Core Rules:
Spoiler: Setup:
3 copies of each card in the card list for the game is shuffled to form a deck. An extra copy of each card is added for 6-7 players, and 2 copies are added for 8-10 players. Each player is then dealt 2 cards from the deck and is given $2. These cards are your influence.
Goal:
Eliminate the other players from the game.
Lives and Influence:
Each player will have two influence cards at the beginning of the game, representing your lives, and the influence you have over the country through your contacts. Whenever you lose a life or lose influence, you must turn over one of your influence cards, revealing it. This card may no longer be used.
When both your cards have been revealed, you are eliminated from the game.
Gameplay:
The game will start with a random player and head down the signup list. Each player must take one action on their turn. A player may choose any action they want and can afford that is currently in the game, regardless of whether or not the player has the corresponding card.
The only time a player cannot choose their action is when they have $10+, in which case, that player must Coup.
Actions:
General Actions:
These actions can always be taken and cannot be challenged or blocked.
Income: Gain $1
Coup: Pay $7. Target player loses an influence.
Card-Specific Actions:
A player may perform an action of any of the possible cards in play, regardless of whether or not they have the card, however, all of these actions can be challenged, and some may also be blocked. The actions can be found on the cards themselves, which are listed in the Role Cards section.
Blocking:
When targeted by an action that can be blocked, a player may claim to have a card that can block the action and attempt to block it. If the action is successfully blocked, the cost to use the action is still paid, but the results are not carried out.
Challenges:
When a player takes a role specific action or blocks, another player may challenge their claim. If the player does not have the corresponding card, the challenge is successful and the challenged player loses an influence. If the player has the corresponding card, however, the challenging player loses an influence, the challenged card is revealed, shuffled into the deck, and a new card is drawn to replace it.
Challenge Condition List:
At the beginning of the game, as part of your confirmation, you are to send in a Challenge Condition List to the host in a PM. This is a list of conditions that would cause you to challenge the current player if met. If a condition is met, you will challenge the current player. This allows you to challenge even when not online.
These conditions can be as simple or complex as you would like and can be changed at any time by sending me an updated list. Please make sure the PMs contain the word Coup or it will be ignored.
If you do not plan on challenging anyone yet, for any reason, or are going to be active for every action, please send the host a list with the only condition listed as N/A, None, Nothing, or something else that gets the point across.
- Code: Select all
[list][*]Condition 1
[*]Condition 2
[*]Condition 3
[*]etc.[/list]
Negotiations:
Anything may be discussed so long as nobody reveals any information about their influence cards.
Order of Play:
During a player's turn, they have 24 hours to declare an action in the thread. Failure to do so will result in a warning and another 24 hours will be given. Once the player declares their action a number of things may happen.
If the action is a General Action, the next player may immediately take their turn.
If the action is a card-specific action, play stops until the host gives the go ahead that there are no challenges from the lists, and any player may challenge until the next player performs their action.
If the ability targets one or more players, the game will pause until all targeted players have decided whether or not to block or challenge, any other players may challenge during this time.
If a block is made, play will once again pause until either each player states they will not challenge, or 24 hours have passed.
If a challenge is made, play pauses until the host posts the results of the challenge in the thread.
If either all players have declared they will not challenge or block, or 24 hours have passed, play passes immediately to the next person unless the action requires exchanging cards with the deck, in which case, the players will once again need to wait for the host to perform the necessary actions via PM with the player.
Rebellion Rules:
Spoiler: Setup:
There are two teams, usually the Government and the Rebels.
At the start of the game, the first player on the signup list is given one team, and each consecutive player is given the team the previous player did not have, until each player has been assigned a team.
Teams:
So long as there is greater than two players remaining, and at least one player on each team, players cannot Coup, Challenge, Block, or take Card-Specific Actions against their teammates.
Treasury Reserve:
The Treasury Reserve acts as a bank where money is deposited and withdrawn with the new actions.
Actions:
Three new General actions are added.
Betray: Put $1 in the Treasury Reserve, swap your team.
Deceive: Put $2 in the Treasury Reserve, swap another player's team.
Embezzle: Take all of the money in the Treasury Reserve. Taking this action claims that you do not have a Finance card. This action may be challenged. If the challenged player has a Finance card, they reveal an influence. Otherwise, they shuffle all their remaining cards into the deck and draw two new ones.
