Brinksman

A game of trust, exploitation, and mutual survival

Two players. Ten escalating rounds. Each round, secretly commit points. If your combined total meets the threshold, you both survive and earn glory. Fall short? You both lose. Commit too much while your partner freeloads? You'll run out of reserves when it matters most.
