AN EMERALD DISCORD ACTIVITY
One shotgun. One survivor.
Rogue Roulette is a game of memory and strategy for 2–6 players. Live and blank shells are loaded in a hidden order. Remember each reveal, use your items wisely and stay at the table until you are the last survivor.
Open Emerald through the Activities button in a Discord voice channel. Take a seat, choose the table settings and let the host start the match. Other members can spectate.

How to play
Blank shells
A blank deals no damage. Shoot yourself with a blank and your turn continues unless it is the last shell, when the turn passes after reloading. Shooting an opponent passes the turn, even with a blank.
Remember the order
At each reload, everyone sees the number of live and blank shells. Their order stays hidden. Action messages and private clues appear briefly, so remember what you learn.
Stay in the game
Use items during your turn before firing. When the last shell is fired or ejected, the table reloads, deals new items and passes the turn to the next surviving player. The last surviving player wins; no survivors means a draw.
Table rules
- The host chooses 2–6 seats, 2–5 starting health, 0–4 items per reload and a 30–120 second turn timer.
- Turns proceed in the shown direction. Remote can reverse that direction.
- Items generally keep your turn going. Collets passes the turn after reloading if it ejects the last shell. Sticky Hand immediately uses the stolen item; you cannot steal another Sticky Hand.
- Running out of time costs 1 health and ejects the next shell.
- Inventories hold up to 8 items. Hand Cuff skips one turn and cannot stack skips on the same player. All players' cuffs open when the shotgun reloads.
- Fast, Medium and Slow modes show action messages and private clues for 5, 6 and 7 seconds respectively.
- Players who leave or are removed during a match forfeit their seat. Spectators follow the host’s table-chat setting.
