connection

Cockroach Poker

Goal: Avoid getting 4 cards of the same suit (whoever does is the loser).

Setup: Shuffle deck and place 7 penalty cards in center with 1 card facing up.
Deal remaining cards to remaining players. For beginners, remove the 2 "any" and "none" card.

Taking turns:
* Randomly select first player
* On players turn, the player chooses to give a card facedown and either lie or tell
the truth about the card that was given to the other player.
* The player who received the card can:
a) Try to guess about the suit of the card
b) Say the declared suit is false
c) Look at the card secrectly and pass it to a different player and declare a suit

* If the receiving player guesses correctly (or calls the bluff), then the giving player gets the
card and places it face up in in front of their tableau. Otherwise, if the receiving player
is wrong they must place the card in front of their tableau face up.

* The last player to be passed the same card must do (a) or (b) and cannot pass.

* Also, the player who had to put a card in front of their tableua is the first person to start
passing a card around.

* When a giving players declares that a card is a Royal, the penalty for guessing wrong is
both the original card and 1 penalty card. Everytime a penalty is given, a new penalty card is 
flipped face up.

Phases:
There are 4 phases to the game, each phase the turn starts from the host.

Phase I: Upkeep
*Injured gladiators must roll 1 to 3 to Heal (?).
*During the phase, each player should balance their ledger. Each slave gives 1 gold, whereas each gladiator
cost one gold. If a player does not have enough slaves or gold to pay for a gladiator, the player
must choose a gladiator to discard.

*During this phase, each player can play their scheme cards against other players
or with the help of other players. The scheme cards have a Influence cost at the top left.

that influence.

*Players place their money in one hand to hide how much money they have.
*Players put their money into a fast. All players put their fist of money over the arena board
and simultaneously reveal their bid.
*If players tie, they drop their money on the board and bid again until someone wins.
*If nobody wins an item/slave/gladiator then players take their money back and the item is discarded.
*Lastly, players bid who will become host for the next phase. If bidding results in highest bidders
run out of money, then they must roll for highest dice value.

Phase IV. Arena
--
* Players who win gain +1 Influence, and their gladiator gets a Favor token. 
Gladiators who enter arena with favor token immediately get +2 gold.
Gladiators with certain number of favor tokens cannot be killed by the Host. (?)
* If a gladiator is defeated, the Host decides if the gladiator is killed. The other player(s)
can negotiate a deal to save the life of the gladiator.
Placing bets:
* Before fighting starts, players choose which gladiators will play.

gladiator's character card.
- Players roll their blue dice. The player with the highest sum wins iniative and can now 
choose to move or have other player move first. (House rule: the person with the highest blue die wins,
if there is a tie, check the next highest values, otherwise re-roll all blue dice.)

* Attack dice are red, Defend dice, 
* The highest dice rolls are matched. Starting from highest to lowest, each time a red die
outnumbers a black die, that counts as a hit against the defender. Defender must remove
one of their dice back into the dice pile. Each player must have at least 1 die of each color.

Defeating, Injuring, and Decapitation
--
* When a player has only one die of each color, they are in danger of either being defeated, injured
or decapitated.
* An DEFEAT is caused when a defender is hit once by an attacker's dice roll.
For example:
Defender rolls Black 3
Attacker rolles Red 4 Red 1 
Note that Attack rolls of <= 3 do not count.

* An INJURY is caused when a defender is hit twice by an attacker's dice roll.
For example:
Defender rolls Black 3
Attacker rolles Red 4 Red 5

* A DEPACITATION is caused when a defender is hit 3 times by an attacker's dice roll.
For example:
Defender rolles Black 3
Attacker rolles Red 5 Red 4 Red 5
* A roll of <= 3 does not count on any die that is not matched by another

End game
--
When a player reaches 12 Influence, other players have a chance to reach 12 influence.
If two people have 12 influence, we skip to arena phase and the two players choose their gladiators
with which to fight. The winner in the arena wins the game.
If more than two people have 12 influence at the end of the phase, the players with two-lowest
value of gladiators and equipment must fight. The winner of that fight, must then fight the remaining player(s).

Rook

Each trick is when one person lays down a valued suit. the next people have to place a card with that suit. if they're value is highest they win the trick. if you don't have that suit you have to play something, it makes sense to play something small.
A card with a trump suit wins. unless someone has a trump suit with higher value. 
A crow trumps everything, everytime.
