MEXICAN STANDOFF
The objective of the game is to “shoot down” opposing pawns before they can shoot yours down. This is achieved by rotating tiles during your turn and creating a path connecting one of your pawns to an opposing player’s pawn(s). A player is dead if they have no available pawns. Be the last player standing.
Mexican Standoff Rules:
– “Shots” have to follow the paths and cannot jump over to a different path.
– Pawns cannot be relocated once the game starts.
– Players take turns rotating one tile and removing any pawn that can be shot down.
– Multiple pawns can be shot down at the same time as long as their paths connect to any of the current player’s pawns.
– Pawns can be shot down at any point during the current player’s turn.
– Only one player can be active at each turn.
