5. Corner Betting

OPTING IN/OUT: At the beginning of each game, players are given the choice to participate in corner betting or not. If all other players opt-out of corner betting, the game starts immediately without this feature. If up to 2 players opt-in for corner betting, they will proceed to the corner betting screen to place their bets.

PLACING BETS: To place a corner bet, a player selects the opponent they want to bet against from the top of their screen. Players can send, receive, and modify incoming offers from other players. Bets can be placed on multiple players and cards. Bets are placed on any or all of a player's initial 4 cards during shuffling/dealing. Only accepted bets are considered valid. Pending or rejected bets are refunded to the sender.

WINNING BETS: Upon game start, players who placed corner bets can view the results of each bet. Each betting player can see their own cards and those of their betting opponents for transparency. The player with the lower card number wins the specific bet. Bets are refunded in the event of a tie.

 

6. Gameplay Rules

DEALING CARDS: Each player receives 4 cards at the beginning of the game. Each player takes their turn to play, with each turn lasting 10 seconds.

PLAYING: Players must match either the symbol or the number on the deck to play. If unable to match a symbol/number, a player must draw a card from the stockpile (Market).

SPECIAL CARDS: The numbers 1, 2, and 8 have special effects:

• Number 1 (Hold On): Skips all other players' turns, returning the turn to the player who played the number 1.
• Number 2 (Pick 2): Forces the next player to draw 2 cards from the Market.
• Number 8 (Suspension): Skips the turn of the next player.

GAME END & WINNING: The game ends when a player empties their hand or the stockpile (Market) is exhausted. Players' card counts are tallied, ranking players by the lowest count. The player with the lowest count wins. In case of a tie, the system draws 1 card each for the tied players. The player with the lowest card number wins the tie.

AUTO-PILOT: If a player is offline or exceeds the 10-second limit, the auto-pilot plays on their behalf. The auto-pilot randomly plays any of the user's valid cards or draws 1 card from the Market if none are available. Auto-pilot disengages upon the player's return, resuming manual play.
Note: Auto-pilot is to ease the effects of a user's poor network connectivity. Auto-pilot lacks strategic gameplay and will play RANDOM cards. It should not be relied upon for competitive play.
