war the card game:
i'm trying to make it a little more interesting...
have two decks of cards
take out all the face cards (I'm not sure at this point whether or not i want Jokers in the game) leave in the aces. so you have ace-10 aces being 1. the four suits of Jack Queen and King are your 3 different kinds of special abilities for a total of 12 face cards that are tapped used then discarded in the game.
Jacks: reverse strength: 10's become 1's and 1's become 10's etc...
Queen: look at X number of card(s) off the top of your deck and put them back the way you want them.
King: declare war if the cards don't match. (i.e. i have a 2 you have a 10 i'm getting lower on cards so i declare war by tapping the king and maybe i'm still in this.
Joker ???
Unsure of what to do with the 2 Jokers but i was wondering since there's only two of them per deck and per side why not just make them have more oomph like a thief ability
just thinking. i'd like to hear what you all think and hear ideas you have about mechanics in something like this.
