In Season



Presents


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.
