Wife's Shotgun

Wife's Shotgun is a tile that appears as a shotgun on the ground during the initial placement. When the wife walks over it, she will pick it up and begin carrying it with her. The shotgun's actual name will depend on the name of your wife, which will appear in place of the word "Wife".

The range of the shotgun as held by the wife is one (1) tile, thus if there is ever a robber directly adjacent to a wife holding a shotgun, she will instantly shoot and kill him. Once an intruder is killed, she will hold onto his bounty money until either she is killed or you return to your house.

Note that after the wife has picked up the shotgun once, the tile visibly changes to a "trigger lock" icon, instead of showing the shotgun tile, but functions the same.

The intruder cannot pick up the shotgun, even if the intruder reaches it before the wife. Since an intruder may carry a gun, note that for comparison, the gun has a range of three (3) tiles.
