We liked the idea and we decided to heavly mod it toward our idea of fun, I think you'd like the result!
Feel free to share!
Here are our changes:
Italian deck of cards (40 cards: 1-7 are numbers, 8-9-10 are the figures)
Starting hand: 5 cards
The cards played during a round are collected by the winner to form a small deck, each deck count as 1 of 3 needed deck toward victory (no opponents cards drawing)
The loosing plyer always starts the new round playing one card
"2" cards forces the opponent to reply with an even card
"3" cards forces the opponent to reply with an odd card
"4" cards allow you to draw 2 cards
"5" cards allow you to draw 1 card
We are having a lot of fun with it so we are planning to make a an indie print run of 200 copies (with new graphics and illustration), we would like to share with you the development and of course some revenues.
Can you contact me at Federico.latini@gmail.com?
This sounds really cool! Does the same rule apply where you have to play a card that's higher in value? Sounds like you have to win 3 hands (decks) to win the game. Does the 1 also still apply where if someone plays a 8, 9, or 10 that playing a 1 resets the value?
3 to win the game (a bit longer gameplay but much more back and forth experience, positive tension = good fun)
1 rule unchanged (it applies to 8, 9 and 10, we renamed it to XYZ)
Anyway as soon as I have a rulebook I will translate it in English from Italian and share it with you
