What is the Game of Knife-and-Candle?

Death is not always permanent in Fallen London. This permits the practice of the violent but strangely boyish game of murderous gentlemen's tag called the Game of Knife-and-Candle.

Strategies:

the Clenched Fist: Stand tall! Fight your enemy in the open!
the Swimmer of Shadows: Remain in the shadows as long as possible.
the Fool's Wager: Bait your enemy into believing you're stupid.
the Honey-Trap: Distract your enemy's eye.
