✧ 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!

Use: Rundown

[vitalsarecritical]

Use: Foist off (Halvsies, to Kunzite)
Steal from: NO ONE

Also we had bargain hunter in our hand, so using rundown and foist off would only take half the cost o/
