Goal
Every pair of players teams up against every other player. The tournament ends when that's true for every pair.
Rounds & matches
Each round splits the players into groups of four; anyone left over sits out (rotated fairly). Every match runs in its own Discord thread. A match is 6 games — every way the four can pair up, each played twice so both teammates take both roles:
- Games 1–2 — A & B vs C & D, then roles swapped
- Games 3–4 — A & C vs B & D, then roles swapped
- Games 5–6 — A & D vs B & C, then roles swapped
Games a group already played are skipped, so some matches are shorter. The same four never meet as a group twice. The next round starts when every match in the current one is finished.
Scoring (per game)
- Winners: +3 each.
- Losers: +1 each if they had 3 or fewer cards left, 0 otherwise — or −1 if they hit the assassin.
Standings show total points, games played and points per game (avg). Sit-outs mean game counts can differ by a few, so compare averages too.
