✧ 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!

Re: Round Three

[everfixedmark]

Oh, called it!

Maybe we should protect? We want to keep all the cards we have right now, I think. Especially Double Up.

Re: Round Three

[prosight]

Hey, that's great! Okay, guess this round is going to be pretty easy.

Re: Round Three

[prosight]

It would cost us 4 to do that, but we do have that wild card. Still, we've got protection already . . . Would people steal in this round or the next?

[DECISION]

[prosight]

* Using Protect.
* Stealing from Ruby.
* Draw.

Re: Round Four (PROTECTED)

[everfixedmark]

Oh, we got another protect. We should probably use that...

Re: Round Four (PROTECTED)

[prosight]

You want to stick with this hand and not go for more points? I mean, we have luck, so we could probably net a good card if we stole and took a points card from another team.

[DECISION]

[everfixedmark]

* Using Protect.
* Stealing from Kunzite.
* Draw.

Re: Final Round

[everfixedmark]

Hmm. I'm not sure we need to cash in, since we could pickpocket for 5 and aim for points cards, go fish for a points card for 1, and still have 6 points left. We could even sabotage, but that seems a bit harsh...

Actually, I think we shouldn't cash in. If anyone else uses Take a Chance on us, we'd lose a lot more if we did than if we kept a bunch of points spread out between cards.
