You've been challenged to a game of WAR to DEATH by the terrifying and infamously sore looser warlock Hieronymous Bonechill!

You accepted the challenge. Bad news: Bonechill stacked the decks and you simply can't win!

Hieronymous is a cheater! It's time to turn the table and survive this terrifying encounter.

Rules:

• Each turn, the players select a card, the highest value card wins except Zero (the eye) which beats 9 but is beaten by all other cards, the winner gets points equal to the cards values
  • If it's a draw, each player gets one card
  • Each turn, someone else drops the first card
  • Each 3 turns, everybody draws 3 card
• Some cards have special effects, you will need them to win!
• If things seem desperate, maybe try again?

Word effects:

• Green: Gain a seed
• Cyan: Zero earns 12 points (stacks)
• Gold: Double points earned this turn (stacks)
• Pink: Swap winner (stacks)

FAQ:

• Q: Why the blindfold?
• A: Hieronymous is secretly a double pirate (in actuality it's due to a dropped feature)
• Q: This is too hard!
• A: 1) this is not a question 2) You may have more chance with pen and paper
• Q: Show me the code... please?
• A: https://github.com/team-plover/warlocks-gambit
• Q: The game is too slow/There is no sounds
• A: Download the game and play it locally
• Q: it's too difficult to put the cards on the table
• A: Known issue. Due to the time constraints of the jam the only fix we can afford right now is just to have the player drag the card to the top right of the screen
