Movies with underworld rules are weird.

A bunch of criminals come together in a hotel or bar, and the hotel/bar has rules. The criminals obey the rules.

Why?

And invariably, the criminals stop obeying the rules, and people are shocked.

It’s especially weird when a bunch of assassins come together, in the assassin bar, and suddenly they try to kill each other.

Like, they’re assassins. They’re in the assassin bar. This is the most predictable outcome.

I steadily lose interest in games where not playing is the main mechanic. If a board or card game is based around forcing people to skip turns, I discover I can skip turns just as easily by not playing. Likewise in a video game, if the main mechanic is stopping people from doing things and being stopped in turn, I can not do things easier and better by uninstalling the game.
