a king and ace (Assassin) are chosen.

When in play individuals challenge opposing players to reveal their
cards by tagging them. The person whose card is lower, loses
their card to the opposing team. They both must return to their
base to: offer the winning card to their base master, or to gain
another card. (This continues until all cards are gone, then
players without cards must sit within their bases.)

The King can only be captured by the Queen or lower. If an ace
or another king tags the opposing king they just bounce and the
king’s identity is revealed.

If a card of the same value tags a card of the same value then
they just bounce. Nobody loses a card.

Only a King can assassinate the Aces!
