Card Dungeon:

A classic Uno card game but with a twist , no uno cards here , instead a standard deck of 52 cards is what you'll be playing with.

  • Maximum of Upto 4 players can play this game.

For anyone who is not familiar with the deck of 52 , here are the cards:

  • Cards are divided into 4 groups (4 suits) and each suit contains 13 cards:

    • Diamond (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,Ace,King,Queen,Jack)
    • Spades (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,Ace,King,Queen,Jack)
    • Clubs (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,Ace,King,Queen,Jack)
    • Hearts (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,Ace,King,Queen,Jack)

  • Since uno has action cards such as ( +2 , +4 , Reverse , skip ) we will be using the face cards ( King , Queen , Jack ) and Ace for those actions instead.

  • Each player starts with a hand of 5 cards.

  • Players take turns playing cards from their hand, following a set of rules that define what cards can be played when.

  • A player can only play a card if it matches either the suit or the rank of the top card on the discard pile.

  • If a player cannot play a card, they must draw a card from the draw pile. If the draw pile is empty, the game ends in a draw and no player is declared a winner..

  • The game ends when one player runs out of cards who is declared the winner.

  • These action cards will trigger the following actions

    • Ace(A): Skip the next player in turn

    • Kings(K): Reverse the sequence of who plays next

    • Queens(Q): Draw 2 (+2)

    • Jacks(J): Draw 4 (+4)

NOTE: Actions are not stackable i.e. if Q is played by player 1 then player two draws two cards and cannot play a Q from his hand on that turn even if available
