Stay alive, gain a fortune...
Dead Last — originally known as Tontine — is a "social collusion" game of shifting alliances, betrayals, and murder for profit in which players must conspire and vote upon whom to kill each round. Any means of overt or covert communication is allowed — a glance, a nod, pointing under the table, flashing a card, anything – but make sure you don't tip off the target or they could ambush you instead! In the end, one or two players will remain, either claiming all the gold or squaring off in a final showdown before starting the next round of play. The first player to score 24 pointsof gold wins.
Thematically, the inspiration for the game isone of the oldest pulp fiction/detective novel tropes: the Tontine, afinancial investment that accrues, but pays out only to the last surviving member of the group. This practice is now largely illegal as it famously had the tendency to lead to murder.
But it is the subtle art of communication that delivers the fun of the game and you conspire with each other. If you are the target of the most votes, you're dead, and if you did not side with the popular vote, you are also dead, so you constantly have to stay informed or deceive your target to band together without letting the target know. Wink, smile, kill — that's the whole game. As soon as someone asks, "Hey,wanna play Dead Last?", the game has already begun— and if you don't know who the target is, it very well could be you...

| Simplicité déconcertante, émotions à tout coup | |
| On pourrait difficilement faire un jeu plus simple: à chaque tour, tous les joueurs votent en même temps pour éliminer un joueur de leur choix. Le joueur ayant récolté le plus de votes est éliminé (à moins qu'il ait vu venir l'attaque, auquel cas il peut se venger), ceux n'ayant pas voté pour ce joueur sont éliminés également et on passe au tour suivant. Il n'y a aucune discussion obligatoire entre les tours, pas de loup-garou ou de traitres, on tue simplement la personne qui nous tente. Par contre, vous voulez faire partie du groupe de vote majoritaire, pour ne pas être éliminé. Donc vous devrez être attentif et comploter, absolument comme vous le souhaitez (signe des yeux, des doigts, sous la table, etc), pour vous entendre sur la personne à tuer, tout en essayant de faire en sorte que celle-ci ne s'en rende pas compte pour ne pas qu'elle se protège. Cela produit des parties enlevantes à tout coup, pleines de surprises, de rebondissements et de beaucoup de rires. Les tours rapides vont en sorte qu'on n'est jamais éliminé bien longtemps et on a tous hâte de commencer un nouveau tour. |

| Un jeu polarisant | |
| Dead last, vous allez adorer ou détester! C'est un jeu à ne pas trop prendre au sérieux. C'est un jeu très rapide ou on répète les parties une après l'autres tout en riant! Mais si vous aimez les jeux qui vous prennent par la main ou vous indique la bonne stratégie... vous allez moins apprécier. Personnellement j'adore et j'aurais mis 5 étoiles si ce n'est pas dû fait que trouver un groupe de joueur (qui aime ce jeu) suffisamment grand est difficile. Mais si vous êtes un groupe d'ami qui aimez les jeux "sociaux" à la Loup-garou, Resistance, Secret Hitler... Vous allez adorer! |
