Card Game

The Premise:

This is simple, attack the other players “kingdom” and win. (based on two players only)  Think of it as a modified “I declare war” card game.

The Rules:

1. Take a deck of cards, remove all kings and queens.  One player takes all black cards, the other takes all red.
2. You place one black or red king and queen down face up.  The other black or red king and queen will not be used.
3. Each player takes their remaining cards and shuffle.
4. Remove 4 cards without looking and place them face down in front of you.  This is your “reserve” unit (this is done so the cards held in hand will have some degree of randomness)
5. The remaining cards are held in hand and played against each other.  Each player presents a card at the same time and high card wins that battle ).  In the event of a tie the battle is a draw and nobody wins the battle. 
6. The reserve unit cards can be played at any time by selecting one and placing it face up.  You do not get to see what card it is and this will take place of using one of the cards in hand.
7. Play continues until all cards are used (including reserve unit cards. Player that has won the most battles wins the war and has conquered the other kingdom and defeated the other players king and queen.

After playing the game a few times, the only change I made was upping the reserve unit cards from 4 to 6.  this makes the cards held in hand more random and you have to have a little more strategy.  Just make sure you pay attention to what is played.  Heh and with any card game look to see of the other player has a tell or not.
