When fighting, a hit to the torso should be a “kill”, whereas a hit to the ankle or any other insignificant place should not count as a “kill” unless you are hit more than 3 times. If anyone plays dirty (i. e. hitting someone in the face), the offender is “killed” instead.

If you want, you can also make special packages which one person can hide around the playing area. Make sure this person is not playing, so that way they don’t gain a leg up on the other tributes. Put extra food, weapons, or other items in the package to help the players through their game.

If you get hit on the torso, you’re dead, but if you get hit on a limb you’re okay. You may be tempted to make a rule about not being able to use limbs if they are shot, this is not a good idea, as it makes the game way harder and way less fun. Ration your food and water: if you eat or drink too much to begin, you might starve to death or die of thirst later!
