About this board game

Ruleta Rusa is a fast elimination game for 2–6 players that takes about 10 minutes to play. Each player manages a set of Revolver tokens and three Skill tokens in a tense contest to be the last one standing.

On your turn, choose between shooting or activating one of your three skills. The shooting stack contains seven “clicks” and one “bang!”, making every decision matter. If you reveal a click, turn one of your Skill tokens face up. If you reveal a bang!, lose one of your face-up Skill tokens.

Your Skill tokens represent both your available abilities and your remaining lives. When you activate a skill, turn that token face down, reducing your options while using its effect. The skills can dramatically change the flow of play and give you ways to influence who takes the next risk.

  • Pass the turn to another player.
  • Reorder the stack of shots.
  • Cancel another skill.
  • Make someone shoot twice.

A player is eliminated if they reveal a bang! while all their Skill tokens are face down, or if they have no tokens left. Continue playing until only one player remains. With its simple choice each turn and limited skills to manage, Ruleta Rusa keeps the focus on timing, survival, and deciding when to trust your head—or follow your heart.

Designed for quick games and a small group of 2–6 players, Ruleta Rusa delivers a compact contest where every click can restore an option and every bang! can bring elimination closer.
