Russian roulette: a potentially lethal game of chance in which participants place a single round in a revolver, spin the cylinder, place the muzzle against their head and pull the trigger.
Can you create or maybe you know of a real one an other roulette (a Belgian roulette, a Spanish roulette, an American roulette, etc.)?
And what does it consists of?
Be creative!
