Disclosure · what is sharednone

Everyone stands in a circle holding an imaginary pie. When a name is called, that person ducks and their two neighbours splat each other; the slower of them is out, and so is anyone who ducks or splats when they shouldn't. Those out sit in the middle and call the next name, so being eliminated keeps you in the game.

Hold with care

Players are eliminated, though the sheet keeps them involved by giving them the calling role
Requires everyone's name to be known and usable, and the sheet handles duplicate names by assigning one of them a different name for the game
