✧ Rules

[dramatispersonae]

The game is five rounds! Each round is allowed 30 minutes for discussion & choosing what cards to play, with a 15 minute window between each round.

Each team starts with 25 points.

At the beginning of round 1, each team gets 6 cards. At the beginning of round 2, 3, 4, and 5, they are dealt 2 cards automatically.

Each round you may choose to take 1 card from a team of your choice—or not.

Each round you can also choose to spend your points to play any of your cards—or not. You can play as many cards as you have points for per round.

The goal of the game is to play and trade cards to end up with as many points as possible.

Cards

There are three types of cards!

Point cards simply award you that number of points if they are in your hand at the end of the game.

Action cards cost points to play, and allow you to take a specific action.

Status cards affect your status, or can be traded away either by random draw or by using an action card to affect other teams' statuses.

Good luck!

--Looks like we lost Foresight.

Re: Round Two

[thankyouverymooch]

And we still have expensive cards and just twenty-five points plus two ten points cards.

Though our action cards are all pretty nice.

Re: Round Two

[fighting_alena]

That could've been useful.

--Also is it just me, or do we always seem to use Iolite as our victim?

[DECISION]

[thankyouverymooch]

We're using the protect card, as well as stealing from Emerald.

Re: Round Four

[thankyouverymooch]

We need to get rid of Halvesies, huh...

Since we only have 7 point and the card doesn't seem to cost anything, we might as well use "Take a Chance".

I'd say to not draw or steal this time.

decisions

[thankyouverymooch]

We'll play Take a Chance to Tiger's Eye.

We won't draw, and we won't steal any card.

Re: Final Round

[fighting_alena]

That helped a little bit, it looks like.

I don't like that 'halvesies' card.

Re: Final Round

[thankyouverymooch]

Well then! If no one steals anything from us, this is a pretty good hand even with Halvesies. The Double Up should just cancel it out, after all.

What do you want to do? No action?

decision

[thankyouverymooch]

We're not taking any action this round.
