About the Game

The World Step into a whimsical yet dangerous realm populated by sly rogues, frog mages, armored warriors, and ancient dragons. In this high-stakes duel, raw force isn't enough—you must outwit your opponent, manipulate suit hierarchies, and trick your rival into exhausting their hand.

Overview & Gameplay Using a compact deck of 30 cards across three suits (numbered 1–10), players battle through a series of tricks where managing hand size is key to survival:

Dynamic Suit Hierarchy: Before tricks begin, both players simultaneously reveal one card from hand. The ranks played establish the round's suit hierarchy (Highest, Middle, and Lowest suits).

Trick-Taking with a Twist: Standard trick-taking rules apply—players must follow suit if possible. Highest rank wins if suits match; otherwise, the stronger suit takes the trick.

Dot Values & Hand Losses: Cards feature 0 to 4 Eggs depending on rank. Losing a trick forces you to lose cards equal to the absolute egg difference between the played cards:

- Same-Suit Loss: You must hand cards directly over to your opponent's hand.

- Different-Suit Loss: You must discard cards face-down.

Sudden-Death Victory: You lose immediately if your hand runs completely empty. The first player to win two games claims ultimate victory.
