CARDS IN PLAY

GAME START
- Each player is dealt 20 cards to their respective "stock" decks
- Both players flip over their first stock card
- The player with the highest value stock card goes first
- The first play is dealt 5 hand cards and begins their turn
- If both players have the same "stock" value, then the cards are re-dealt
DECKS
-
STOCK DECK
- The object of the game is to "play" all of your stock cards on "play" decks
- May "only" be played on "play" decks "in ascending sequence" or "wild"
- "stock" cards cannot moved to the "discard" decks or "hand" deck
-
PLAY DECKS
- May "only" be the "target" of a play/move
- May "only" be played upon by your player's "hand", "discard" or "stock" deck cards that are the next card value in ascending sequence, or "wild"
- Removed when the maximum non-wild card value is played - starting over at "empty", on which only an "ace" or a "wild" card may be played
- "play" cards can "never" be moved, only played upon
-
HAND DECK
- Player starts their turn with 5 "hand" cards
- Player ends their turn by moving a "hand" card to a "discard" deck
- A "discard" may always on "any" discard pile regardless of the top discard value - however "buried" discards may not be moved to a "play" deck until they are unburied
- If "all" "hand" cards are moved to "play" decks during a turn, then the player draws 5 more "hand" cards and continues their turn
- If the "last" "hand" card is moved to a "discard" pile, then the player does not draw 5 more cards and their turn is over
- "hand" cards can "never" be moved to the "stock" deck
-
DISCARD DECKS
- "discard" cards may only be moved to a "play" deck
- Only the "top" "discard" card of a "discard" deck may be moved to a "play" deck
- "discard" decks can only be the target of a move if the source is a "hand" card
- "discard" deck sequence does not matter as a rule, however is fundamental in "strategy"
GAME END
- If a player moves all of their "stock" cards to "play" decks "first" then they have won the game
- If a player needs to draw cards and there are not enough cards to complete their draw, then the game is a "tie"... maybe (I am still deciding this)
Step 1) WATCH A VIDEO
Step 2) Game Types
- A: just like the instructions, but shuffling only happens when the draw deck is cleared.
- PZ: just like A, but Kings are NOT wild - they clear play decks. 4 Jokers ("W") are included and are wild.
Step 3) CONTROLS
SINGLE/DOUBLE CLICK (I call it autoplay - errrm)
- Single click non-wild stock or discard card to move to any playable play pile
- A play pile target must still be selected for wild stock and discard cards
- Double click non-wild hand cards to move to any playable play pile
- A play pile target must still be selected for wild hand cards
- To discard a hand card select the target discard pile after the hand card has been selected - ass before (beauty)
- You may (try) to turn it off by un-checking the "AP" checkbox
