Trick Up The Sleeve

RULES

Each player is dealt 5 cards at a time from their own piles (20 Cards Total). Players take turns placing cards into one of the 4 empty slots to capture them. Players can also place higher value cards on top of existing piles.

Once all cards have been played from the player's hands, each pile is tallied up to its total value, and whichever player has the highest value card on that pile gets the points.

BUST

If a player runs out of moves but has cards remaining in his hands, he "busts", the round ends early, and he loses 5 points for each card he has not played.

CHEATING

The player can try and replace the lowest value card in his hand with a value 10 from his sleeve (Bottom Right Corner). Every time you cheat the odds of you getting caught increases, so use it sparingly

SCORING

After finishing the draw pile 3 times, the players final score is calculate by subtracting the opponent's total score from his.

Trick Up The Sleeve was made in 48 hours for the Addy Valentine Game Jam, so the AI is rather primitive. If enough interest is garnered I'll rewrite the AI to be smarter :-)
