One Hit Kill is a card game of ridiculously overpowered weapons and monsters and cuddly rabbits. The Core deck is for 2 to 3 players, but expansions can accommodate up to 6 players. Players compete to be the first to build a weapon, formed through a combination of numbered Component cards, which must be arranged in sequence. This mechanic resembles gin, or a straight in poker. There are also Special cards which allow players to take additional actions such as drawing additional cards or forcing opponents to discard cards. On each player's turn, the player must perform exactly one action: Draw a card Play a Special card Discard any number of cards Get a new Weapon Win the game, by playing a completed Weapon
