Claude, Ann, Mary Ellen, Marty, Raymond, and Richie here for supper.. Later played <u>KILLER</u>, which Monty learned at school. Players are secretly dealt a card, one of which designates a "killer". Players look at each other and the killer kills by winking at the victim. The victim waits at least 3 seconds and then says "I'm dead" and turns over their card. If a live player thinks they know the killer, they make an accusation. Nothing happens with an accusation unless another player backs it. In this csae the accused turns over their card. If the killer, the two accusers score a point each. If not, the accusers lose one point each and teh round continues. If the killer kills all but one player he scores one point. (it should be two points, at least when 8 play, since it is difficult to do.)
