MOD Game : Ask Mr. Hole
[Game Screen] Rough Sketch
[Digital Game]
In digital game, things like calculating scores and detecting special cases can be automated and that gives players convenience and trust by having the computer as a neutral host of the game. It seems to give designers more freedom to extend the original game into somewhat complicated one.
[MOD Game: Ask Mr. Hole]
I added a seperate deck of special cards which can be interesting variables to the original game. When a player puts same number card, instead of making next player skip the turn, the player can choose either to pick a card from the special card deck or to make the next player skip the turn. Alsothere is the other case that allows players to pick up the special card. It is when there is nobody who can go on. The player who put the last card can either start next turn or skip his turn and draw a special card.
Other then special cards, there is one more special rule. It is when a player puts a same number and color card. In this case, the player can have one more turn to put cards.
The contents of special cards are like below.
* Backward Card: Players should put less or equal number of the card to the card on the table. When there is nobody to put right card on that, the rule goes back to the original. Players should put bigger or equal number of card. The player who put this special card can start putting his card first at the same time.
* Exchange Card: The player who put this special card can exchange all of his cards with other players'. It will be better to exchange cards with a player who has least number of cards. When there are more than 1 person who has the least number of cards, then the player can choose among them.
* Give 2 more cards to opponents: The player who put this special card can make other opponents to have 2 more cards from the deck. The number of cards to put to other players can be tweaked to keep the balance of the game.
