== 3-High == |
|||
This is my entry for the 2009 Spring Icehouse Game Design Competition.<br> |
|||
Using the following terms: High, Team, and Diamond.<br> |
|||
Jason Troutman |
|||
== Equipment Needed == |
|||
*1-4 People that play as a team |
|||
*Chessboard |
|||
*1 Treehouse set |
|||
*1 deck of playing cards minus cards 9, 10, J, Q, K & Jokers. |
|||
== Object == |
|||
Assemble the five trees without running out of cards. |
|||
==Setup== |
|||
Place the chessboard in the center of the play area.<br> |
|||
Separate the playing cards into piles of red suit & black suit cards, shuffle each pile seperately and set them aside.<br> |
|||
Separate the treehouse pieces into stacks of the same size (3s, 2s, 1s, color order does not matter). |
|||
==Board Setup== |
|||
For each piece, starting with the largest and continuing to the smallest, draw a red card and a black card and place the piece onto the corresponding space of the chess board.<br> Follow the grid system below.<br> |
|||
[[Image:Grid.GIF|Grid system for board setup]]<br> |
|||
If a piece is to share a space with another, place it on top. |
|||
Once all pieces are placed on the board, shuffle the cards together and deal the hands according to the number of players.<br> |
|||
*1 player = 6 cards |
|||
*2 players = 5 cards each |
|||
*3 players = 4 cards each |
|||
*4 players = 3 cards each<br> |
|||
Set the rest aside for a draw pile.<br> |
|||
Randomly choose a player to go first.<br> |
|||
==On your turn== |
|||
# Choose a card from your hand and place it next to one of the four sides of the board.<br>[[Image:Cards.GIF|Where to play cards]] |
|||
# Then move a piece towards that card under the following conditions:<br> (value of card) minus (Piece size) = number of spaces towards card. Away from the card if the result is negative.<br>example: Play an 8 to move a size 3 piece 5 spaces. Play an Ace to move a size 2 piece away 1 space. |
|||
#* If a diamond suited card is played, do not subtract piece size.<br>example: 5 of Diamonds moves any piece 5 spaces. |
|||
#* Pieces move in a straight line in one direction. |
|||
#* Pieces may move over other pieces. |
|||
#* Pieces cannot move off of the board. If a piece must move off the board, the players lose the game. |
|||
#* Pieces can only move on top of other pieces of the same color that is one size larger. (1s on 2s and 2s on 3s) |
|||
#* When moving a piece that is on top of another, only count and move the top most piece. |
|||
# When your move is complete, draw a card from the draw pile. |
|||
#* If your move completed a tree (a 1, on a 2, on a 3 of the same color), do not draw a card.<br>Your hand will have one fewer card for the rest of the game. |
|||
==Losing== |
|||
*When a piece is moved off of the board. |
|||
*When a player cannot play a card on their turn. |
|||
*When the draw pile runs out. |
|||
==Winning== |
|||
When all five trees are completed. |
