Skulls & Roses

This game can be played with the Minimal Travel Table Top Game Collection 3.

Cards

For this game, you need following cards:

Setup

Each player starts with 3 cards of the same color + 1 black.

Gameplay

Going in turns clockwise, each player either places one card face down in front of them or makes a challenge (can't make a challenge on 1st round)

If a player challenges, they say how many flowers they expect to turn. Then going clockwise, every player can either bid a higher number or pass.

Highest bid must then start turning cards face up, starting from their own (entire stack) and then from others in any order.

If at any point, they flip a skull (black card), they lose and must give up one of their cards for the remainder of the game. If they flipped skull on their own stack, they choose a card to discard in secret. If they flipped a skull on another player's stack, that player randomly chooses one card to discard. Discarded card is not revealed to players at any point.

If they succeed to flip the amount of roses they bid, they get a victory point.

Game end

When someone reaches 2VP, they win the game.

Or if all other players have been eliminated from the game, the last player standing wins.
