Failtanic

Players each receive two iceberg cards and decide whether to swap one with the next player or keep both, creating a simple hand-management and bluffing dynamic. Play proceeds over rounds where players compare scores from their iceberg cards; the lowest-scoring player loses a life preserver and elimination is imminent when all preservers are gone. The highest-scoring player becomes captain and gains the right to introduce new rules that carry into subsequent rounds, altering gameplay for the group. The game supports three to ten players and emphasizes competitive, party-style play where individual survival and rule manipulation drive the action.
