## Description
Frag distills the frantic vibe of early first‑person shooters like Doom and Quake into a fast‑paced tabletop showdown. Players start by allocating points to build a character, then spawn onto a modular arena filled with corridors and cover. On each turn you roll a die to determine how many spaces you can move, then draw cards that grant weapons, gadgets or armor, bolstering your firepower. Spot an opponent within range? Shoot – combat is resolved with dice, so a lucky roll can flip the outcome in an instant. When you’re taken down, you don’t leave the game; you respawn on your next turn, keeping the action flowing. The win condition is straightforward: be the first to rack up three kills. Cheat cards add a mischievous layer, letting you pull off surprise advantages and keep everyone on edge. With a 30‑minute playtime, lightweight rules (weight 1.8/5), and support for 2‑6 players, Frag is ideal for anyone who loves quick, noisy, and chaotic duels without needing a computer.
