So for this game we decided to stay as
close to the core mechanic outlined as possible. We decided to make a game that was an
education memory game that will teach people the fresh fruits and vegetables
that are in season.
Our inspiration for this game comes a lot from
Gin, and a little bit from Go Fish. We decided to make a simple model where
players draw cards and create sets of matching fruits and vegetables.
Goal:
The goal of the game is to collect as many
different sets of fruits and vegetables as possible.
Each month of the year has a specific group
of fruits and vegetables that make up a set.
Fruit and vegetables may belong to more than
one set (mirroring how a fruit or vegetable is in season several months a
year).
A month set is considered
"complete" when a player holds the necessary fruits and vegetables
for that month.
For example, if you collect five fruits or
veggies that are part of the January set, you have succesfully gained one set.
The player with the most sets when the game
is over wins!
Rules:
Each player starts with 4 cards, a random
player goes first
Steps in a turn:
First:
Draw
a card from the deck
Second:
Check
to see if he you a complete set of 5 cards
If
you do, play that set face up, in front of you. This set is considered
complete.
Draw
until you have 4 cards - the turn is now over
If
you do not have set after drawing a card, proceed to step Three
Third:
Choose
a card at random from another players hand
Choose
a card from your hand (not at random) to give back to the other player
If
a set is made, play that set and draw until you have 4 cards - the turn is now
over
If
no set is made even still, your turn is over.
