A silver bullet.

Its passports say "Republic of China / Province of Taiwan", the last
time I looked.

Piccolo.

Cribbage.

But, oh dear, I think that's an eggcorn. At least I hope it is --
I'd hate to think that my childhood favorite game awarded points for
a player's, er, member. I've always understood it to be "His Nobs",
and a quick reference to the "Technical terms" appendix of /Official
Rules of Card Games/, 56th edition (1969) confirms it.
