XB4406 MA Games Design: 2022-2023: This Way Up! Ruleset Development

 THIS WAY UP! Rulesets:

The first ruleset is the most basic: Duel Mode (name up for debate)

Each player takes 5 cards drawn at random, face down from the entire collection of cards that come with the game.

On a 3x3 grid is where the cards are going to be placed.

A coin is flipped to decide who goes first.

The first player takes one of their cards and places it onto the grid. They also place a counter of their colour on their card. Their opponent does the same.

If the card's adjacent number is larger, the card that is weaker has their counter become the colour of the player's card that overpowered it. If two cards' numbers that are adjacent are the same number, nothing happens according to that side.

The player who has the most cards of their colour is the winner.
