║▌▌▌▌▌▌Introduction▐▐▐▐▐▐║
╚════════════════════════╝
TriCards! is a gambling game that involves a bit of strategy. The User
and Computer both have three cards, plus the User has a Bonus Card.
The cards are dealt from a special deck containing every normal playing
card, aside from Queens and Jacks. Aces equal one, and Kings equal zero.
The object is to try and form a three-digit number by flipping over the
cards one at a time. The first card that is flipped over is the first
digit of the 3 digit number, the second card flipped over is the second
digit of the three-digit number, and so on. After the User has formed
his/her number, they have the option of flipping over the Bonus Card.
The Bonus Card will cost a configured amount of points, but when flipped,
it can be useful by exchanging the digit on the card with one of the digits
in the three-digit number. Highest three digit number wins the round. If
the player wins, he/she wins 2 times whatever they initially bet, and the
total is added to a cumulative total. If the Computer wins, then the player
loses his/her bet, and their total is subtracted from the cumulative total.
The cumulative total is used to determine the TriCards Champion.
