A Handful of Cuts sees each player taking the roles of assassins and plotting to slowly kill their fellow assassins in a death by a thousand cuts, or in this case A Handful of Cuts. Lie, steal, cheat and constantly think outside of the box to get the best of your fellow friends and enemies to take their blood cards and be the last alive. Each player starts by drawing three mission cards. These could range from coercing a player into doing the most mundane of tasks for you to pulling off complicated schemes with the help of other players. Each successful mission allows you to steal blood from that player. If all but one player has run out of blood cards the game ends and that player wins. —description from the designer
