Dive into an engaging card game that challenges both your memory and strategic thinking. The game kicks off with each player being dealt 4 cards, all placed face down. To start, you get a sneak peek at your two rightmost cards, setting the stage for a round of tactical gameplay where the goal is to minimize the value of your cards.
During your turn, you have three options at your disposal:
- Replace the Center Card: Swap one of your cards with the center card, which could be a strategic move to offload a high-value card.
- Replicate a Card: This option lets you create a duplicate of any card, potentially useful for getting rid of unwanted cards.
- Draw a Card: You can draw a new card from the deck. Once drawn, you have the choice to replace one of your cards with it or simply discard it.
The game introduces special cards that add layers of strategy:
- 7 and 8: These cards grant you the ability to peek at one of your own cards, aiding in better decision-making.
- 9 and 10: Use these to gain insight into an opponent's card, potentially revealing their strategy.
- Eye Master Card: This powerful card allows you to see one card from each opponent or take a look at two of your own cards, offering significant tactical advantage.
- Swap Card: Swap one of your cards with an opponent's without revealing them, adding a twist of uncertainty to the game.
- Replica Card: This card lets you discard any card from your hand, a great way to get rid of high-value cards.
The game continues until a player declares 'Skru'. Once 'Skru' is called, the player skips their next turn, and the round concludes after all other players have taken one more turn. Note that 'Skru' cannot be called during the first three turns.
At the end of the round, all cards are flipped over, and the player(s) with the lowest score receive 0 points. If you called 'Skru' but didn't have the lowest score, your score for that round is doubled, adding an element of risk and reward to the game.
This card game is not just about luck; it's a test of memory, strategy, and psychological warfare, making every round a thrilling challenge.
