I invented a new card game. It can be played with a standart 52 deck, no jokers.
<
>Unnamed Card game, how to play. The object of the game is to be the last player with cards on his hand.
<Preparation
The game is played between three players, not more, not less. First, the deck is shuffled. After that, the top card and all jokers are discarded, so that there are 51 cards left. Then, each player is given 10 cards. Players may look at their own cards, but they shan't show them to the other players.
<
After that, the remaining cards are shuffled again, and three decks of 7 cards are formed, face down. These decks are called reserves. Each player must choose one reserve to own. Players may not turn their reserves face up or in any way look at the contents of their reserves just yet.
<Game
After the preparations are done, the game begins. It proceeds in consecutive turns. Idk which player must have his turn first, the descision is left for (You).
<
During his turn, the player may perform one of the listed actions:
>Take one card from his reserve and it to his hand, revealing it's contents to himself.
>Or, attack another player.
The first one is self-explainatory, and you may not do that if you don't have any cards left in your reserve. The second one, however, requires explaination.
<
To attack a player, you must place any amount of cards from your hand on the table, turned towards the player, i. e. if the player is in front of you, the cards must be turned normally, and if the player is to the right or to the left of you, the cards must be turned by 90 degrees.
<
After you done placing the cards, the player who you attacked takes his turn, and must Defend.
To succesfully defend, you must place a beating card from your hand on top each of the attacker's previously placed cards. The card you place must beat the card it's placed on top, i.e. defends against. For clarity, these cards will be called the attacker and the defender.
<
To explain the conditions for when the defender matches the attacker, I must explain the rock-paper-scissors system between the cards, i.e:
>Spades are greater than diamonds.
>Diamonds are greater than clubs.
>Clubs are greater than hearts.
>Hearts are greater than spades.
<
There are also equal suits.
>Spades are equal to clubs.
>Hearts are equal to diamonds.
The rule of thumb is that if card is the same color, it's equal, if it's not, then it's either lesser or greater.
<
Now, I can explain the conditions for when the defender card beats the attacker:
>if the defender is equal to attacker, then it beats it if it's value is bigger than the attacker's value
>if the defender is lesser to attacker, then it beats it if it's value is bigger than the attacker's value * 2
>if the defender is greater to attacker, then it beats it if it's value * 2 is bigger than the attacker's value
<
the values go as follows:
>all of the number cards have value equal to their number, duh
>Jack's value is equal to the amount of friendly (i.e. on the same side, be it attacker or defender) cards with the same suit as his
>Queen's value is equal to the amount of friendly cards with value less than five * 2
>King's value is equal to the amount of friendly cards which are either Jacks, Queens or Kings * 2
>Ace's value is 1
<
After the defender ends his turn, the results are calculated.
If the defender managed to beat every one of attacker's cards, then he may take one card from the table for every defender card he placed and discard all of the remaining cards.
If the defender couldn't beat all of the attacker's cards, then the attacker returns the half of his cards to his hand (rounded to the bigger number) and one of the defender's cards for every attacking card the defender couldn't beat. If during his turn the defender didn't place any cards, then he must give the attacker the cards from his hand and the reserve if necessary.
<
After the results it's the third player turn. The cycle repeats until there is only one player left with cards.
