Most games require a “kill shot” in which the dart hits the victim on the head or torso. You’re not allowed to defend yourself until you see another player actively trying to eliminate you. Keep your assignment card with you at all times in the instance you need to prove your target to the referee.
If you’re joining a game already in progress, there might already be a set of rules already in place that the referee will make you aware of. Listen closely and play by the rules to have a good time. If you don’t like the way a particular game is organized, start your own with your own specific set.
It’s typically against the rules to “turtle” and never emerge from out of the safe zones. It’s no fun if you’re never out in the open.
Slipping a Nerf dart or piece of paper labelled “poison” is sometimes permissible, as is sending the person a Nerf dart to act as an “explosive. " Indirect methods of play will vary somewhat.
Most campuses won’t allow games to take place during class time or in campus buildings. Use precaution and make sure you abide by their rules. Let your neighbors know that your friends might be creeping around your house with Nerf guns so they won’t call the cops on you.
In some games, once you’ve killed a player, you’ll collect their hit card, giving you a new target. In games played in this way, the game continues until all players have been eliminated but one.
Some games have special designations about witnesses. If you’re playing under these kind of discreet rules, no one is allowed to see you eliminate another player without incurring penalties. Sometimes, too many witnesses might trigger eliminated players to be called back up with you as their target. Be aware of these rules and use discretion.
It might be tempting to employ other friends who aren’t in on the game and try to get them to do your dirty work. Typically, this is illegal.
