Each player takes 9 cards and discards 2

Turn Sequence

The players secretly pick a card which is placed in front of them simultaneously. You may not place a card of an immediately higher (+1) value than you previously played. This represents one duel and the winner will receive a certain amount of gold to be outlined below.

End of a Round

The round ends when all but 1 cards have been played. The person with the most gold wins the round. Each following round is played with one less card. The first person to win two rounds wins the game.

Winning and Scoring a Duel

The highest card wins the duel if the difference between the cards is no more than 3
The lowest card wins the duel if the difference is more than 3
