‘The world is only getting crueler.’
The host will throw a 13-sided cube to determine the starting gamer's number and ask the gamers in turn whether they will prey on the other gamers, who may or may not choose to prey.
Once the predator chooses to start the predation, the predator has to hand over the predator card engraved with the corresponding player's number to the referee, and the duel will start immediately, the predator card will not be returned, and the predator cannot refuse it. The referee announces the result to the whole room, the winning side will increase N (2 in the first round, 3 in the second round, 4 and 5 in the third round, 6 and 7 in the fourth round) life points, and the losing side will deduct the same life points (preferentially deducting the losing side's original life points, and if the losing side's original life points are not enough to be deducted, deducting the life points of other gamers that have been exchanged in the wooden box of the losing side's life points). If the remaining life value of the losing side is less than or equal to 0 points, the losing side will be eliminated immediately and the referee will not announce the identity of both sides.
After the last player has finished preying, the host will again ask all players who have not preyed this round if they will prey, and if that player refuses and that player has not been preyed upon by any other player, that player is starved, minus the corresponding N (2 in the first round, 3 in the second round, 4 and 5 in the third round, and 6 and 7 in the fourth round) life points for the current round.
In the first and second rounds of the game, if a player fails in the Predation Phase, that player enters the Nature Reserve for the round and cannot be preyed upon again during the round. During the third and fourth rounds of the game, the Nature Reserve disappears.
Note: In both the first and second rounds of the game, there is only one Predation Phase per round; in the third and fourth rounds of the game, there will be two Predation Phases per round. At the beginning of each Predation Phase, the Referee will retrieve all of the Gamers' Life Points Wooden Boxes, and the increase or decrease of Life Points for all Players during the Predation Phase will be done by the Host's proxy. If a Gamer eliminates another Gamer by hand, that Gamer will be rewarded with an additional 3 Life Points. The eliminated player loses the Life Point Wooden Box and all abilities, but keeps his remaining Predator Cards to assist other players.
