Today I Started work on fleshing out the rules of a card game.

So far it's a trick taking or point based game based on planting and harvesting seeds on a planet where the seasons are random.

Currently It's a 2 player game with a standard deck of cards.

The Face Cards represent the seasons. You plant during one season and harvest during another. Seasons are grouped by suit color. So you plant clubs on a club face card and harvest when a spade face card becomes active and vice versa. The player with most harvested points wins. Points are currently the number value of the card.

Setup:

Remove face cards from deck and shuffle the separated decks.

With the shuffled face cards make 4 piles between the players.

Each player draws 5 cards from the number deck

Choose a player to start.

Each turn consists of the following phases:

Change season

Harvest Points

Plant cards

Draw Up to 5 card limit.

Next Up: Flesh out each action with more explanation.
