Spooneye! The Card Game

The Basic Game

Cards With Effects: 4

If a 4 is played, the player must play another card from his or her hand. If this card is a 4, another card is played, and so on. The player's turn then ends. The effect of this card occurs immediately after the card is played, except that any raising/capturing/closing of ranks always takes precedence.

Playing 4s can cause a player's hand size to decrease down to the practical minimum of 0 cards, which would force the player to play whatever card he or she drew.

Turn 3M: Matey draws the 7

. This is a lucky draw, as it allows him to play the 4

on the K

, and then play the 7

on the 4

, raising his mast and capturing Captain's rightmost mast.

Capturing an opponent's mast in this manner (by playing a 4 and another card to raise a mast) is known as swashbuckling.

Matey's Hand: 5
