Skru

Memory and Mind Games Card Game

Game Overview: This card game combines memory and strategy, challenging players to minimize their card values through clever gameplay and mind games. The game progresses in rounds, with each round ending when a player calls "Skru."

Setup:

• Each round begins with each player receiving 4 cards, all placed face down.
• At the start of each round, players may peek at their two rightmost cards.

Objective:

• Minimize the total value of your cards by the end of the round.

Gameplay:

• Players take turns, and on each turn, a player can choose one of three actions:

1. Replace the Center Card: Swap one of your cards with the center card.
2. Replicate a Card: Copy the value of one of your cards onto another card.
3. Draw a Card: Draw a new card from the deck. You can then either replace one of your cards with the drawn card or discard it.

Special Cards:

• 7 and 8: Allow you to peek at one of your own cards.
• 9 and 10: Allow you to peek at one card from another player.
• Eye Master: You can either see one card from each other player or two of your own cards.
• Swap: Swap one of your cards with a card from another player without revealing either card.
• Replica: Discard any card from your hand.

Ending a Round:

• A player can call "Skru" at any time after the first three turns to end the round.
• After calling "Skru," the player skips their next turn, and the round concludes after all other players have taken one more turn.
• All cards are then revealed, and the player(s) with the lowest total card value score 0 points.
• If a player called "Skru" but does not have the lowest score at the end of the round, their score for that round is doubled.

Scoring:

• The player with the lowest total card value at the end of the round scores 0 points.
• If multiple players tie for the lowest score, they all score 0 points.
• A player who called "Skru" but did not achieve the lowest score has their round score doubled.

This game tests players' memory, strategic planning, and ability to bluff and mislead opponents, making it a thrilling challenge for those who enjoy mind games and card strategy.
