Specific Details and Rules:

One person is the President and has no type of water blaster whatsoever. The rest of the people are either Bodyguards or Assassins. The President must be protected by his/her Bodyguards since the President has no weapon. His/her bodyguards must protect the President for a set amount of time or provide protection while the President is moved from one known location to another. If the President gets shot (this can vary from the way you play. I play with one hit eliminates) the game is over. Bodyguards and Assassins can also be eliminated based on the hit / scoring mode agreed upon. If all Assassins are eliminated, the game also ends.

Optional: For those who think that the President should be armed, he/she can be given a small pistol weapon to use (since most would think the President should be able to fend for him/herself). A small blaster such as a Super Soaker XP 20 or XP 40 would be ideal as a small, concealed side-arm.
