Answer

Russian roulette is a life and death game that involves traditionally two players, a revolver, and one bullet. The bullet is placed in a chamber of the gun's cylinder, the cylinder is spun, and one player aims the revolver at their head and pulls the trigger. if the gun does not go off the second player repeats the actions of the first. Depending on the players, the cylinder of the gun may or may not be spun again. Play continues until one player blows their brains out and ends the contest.
