Firstly, I apologize for the rudeness but I think this shouldn’t be enough to be considered a valid submission. Anyways, it is still a game, just not in the digital form, so I decided to give it a try. I didn’t bother printing out the stuff, I just treat aces as greens; 10, J, Q, K as yellows; and the rest as blacks.
The game is pretty luck-based since you have no control over the order of the cards - it’s shuffled and randomized. Lose sets appear extremely often, so the scoring is focused on avoiding negative points. The only thing that actually gives points is to verify the cards within 120 seconds which is easy to do because almost everything is a lose set.
There is a big flaw in the first 30 seconds due to these 3 points:
- Lose sets, even when verified correctly, net you 0 points.
- There are only 4 green cards, so win sets are extremely rare.
- Tie sets are removed without verification if all cards are dealt within 30 seconds.
Because of this, it is better to simply deal all sets as ties within 30 seconds. All ties are removed, and voila, 10 points. A person who tries taking time to verify every set will more often than not score less points because they’ll exceed the first 30 seconds and get -1 for every tie. Even if they did everything correctly, it’s highly likely that there are no true win sets, so they’ll still only get 10 points.
I did have a little fun with this whole ordeal, memorizing the rules and setting up the timer, but it sure needs a lot of improvement to be even considered a proper game ruleset. I scored 11 by the way. Hope at the very least my attempt to play your game gives you motivation to continue making games. Best wishes to you.
