Zark City: Difference between revisions

The object of the game is to controlbe the sole occupant of three orthogonally adjacent playing cards that consist of a suited run or a three-of-a-kind.

Deal each player three cards face-down. Players must look at their cards to make sure they have at least one number card as opposed to only face-cards and aces. (If they have only face-cards and acesnot, theysee revealNote this fact to the other players and all players draw an extra card until everyone has at least one numbered cardbelow.) Now players each select a card from their hand numbered 2-10 and place it face-down in front of them. Once all cards have been placed face-down, cards are revealed and the owner of the highest revealed card places that card in the center of the table and puts a {{PL|::S|black|3em}} from his collection on top of it. Then, in clockwise order, each other player does the same, so that the board now consists of as many cards as players.<br>

[[Image:Sample.board.90.degree.zark.2000px.jpg|right|400px]] The board will always consist exclusively of numbered cards. Each new card that is placed on the table needs to be perpendicular to the cards next to it, so that the board expands in a grid like so.

*'''Build''' Choose an empty place on the board orthogonally adjacent to a card you occupy and fill that space with a card in from your hand. (The new card must be numbered 2-10.)

'''What happens to the attacked pyramid?''' You, as the attacker, choose: It's either replaced by the attacker'syour pyramid of the same-or-smaller size, or it's simply removed from the board. In either case, return the attacked pyramid is returned to its owner's stashsupply.
