Yum! For similar mostly-delicious results you could use jellybeans.

<p>Not <em>necessarily</em> exactly what you're looking for, but a fun game involving waving a lot of waving around brightly-coloured foam pistols is <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/19237/cash-n-guns" rel="nofollow">Ca$h 'n' Gun$</a>.</p>

<p>If you follow the link to the image gallery (underneath the box image), you will see lots of people humorously shooting themselves in the head, Russian Roulette-style.  It's what gamers tend to do when they're playing a game with foam gun components, and there's no other honourable way out.</p>

<p>Not sure this would be <em>small</em>-child friendly, but it depends on the precociousness of your children, and certainly it seems like it would be fine for ages about 10 and up.</p>

<p>Does anyone know of an established variation on Russian Roulette using dice or cards that doesn't involve shooting yourself in the head and would be somewhat child friendly?</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

Have you checked out the card game Exploding Kittens? According to their [website](https://www.explodingkittens.com/): "It is a highly-strategic, kitty-powered version of Russian Roulette." Also note that the site says the game is fine for ages 7 and up.

The only thing we can really find similar is something like "spin the bottle" and if it landed on you, you'd be out.

Is this question on topic? Technically, the game can be played around a table with cards and dice, but "Russian roulette" is really a different animal with a different context. And the user is new.

@Tom, Russian Roulette is such a brutally simple game that I can't imagine anyone couldn't work out how to non-violently replicate it with a six-sided dice or a deck of cards.  I took the "point" of the question to be games with props that recreate the gun-pointing tension and drama of RR.  Of course, I could be completely mistaken in this, as I notice my answer isn't getting any upvotes ;)

@Tom, Wait, why is a user being new a reason to close a question? Voted to reopen -- the answers below prove that this is a legitimate, on-topic question with interesting responses.

@warbaker: I'm actually new at closing questions myself (barely on the site for 3 months). It struck me as a "borderline" question. Given that the user was new, I voted to close, on the theory that new users are more likely to ask borderline questions. If someone with high rep had asked it, I might have let it pass. But new users tend to attract more scrutiny.

Seems like a stupid question to me, asked only with the intention of "see what happens".

Does anyone know of an established variation on Russian Roulette using dice or cards that doesn't involve shooting yourself in the head and would be somewhat child friendly?

Thanks :)
