dramatispersonae | ✧ Peridot (Chance Game)

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!

❋ Take A Chance. Switch point values with another team.
❋ Go Fish. Cost: 2. Name a card type and a team. If that team has the card type you named, take it. If they do not have it, pay another 8 points.
❋ Double Up. At the end of the game, if you have this card in your hand, your point total is doubled.
❋ 1 point
❋ 5 points
❋ Full Swap: Swap your entire hand with another team.

You may:
✧ spend points to play any of your action cards
✧ pick a team to steal a card from (to show up in your hand at the beginning of next turn)
✧ draw two cards (to show up in your hand at the beginning of next turn) (default, unless specified otherwise)

Please discuss your options, then comment to [DECISION] with your choices! You have 30 minutes to decide; the new round will go up 15 minutes after all teams' decisions are in.

Okay so definitely keeping double up.

...Maybe we should switch points with another team. We have a lot of 1s.

Now that I think about it, though, does that card switch the points in our hand, or just the points we have to spend?
