Player Order for Round 1

Mike - 4 Cards; 0 Successes
Kyle - 4 Cards; 0 Successes
Phoebe - 4 Cards; 0 Successes

Remember to PM me your hand order before posting in this thread.

Current Step: Everyone must declare 1 card. This card is the start of your stack. (Something like "I chose card 2 from my hand." would work.) This card is face down so only you (and I) know what the card is.

Once everyone chooses a card, it will be Mike's turn and I will provide more instructions then.

I choose Card 4 from my hand.

I choose Card 2 from my hand.

Oh crap! Sorry y'all, I've been busy.

I choose card 1.

And y'all should know- Card 1 is always going to be my skull card.

Alright! Here's where we are:

Mike's Stack - (1) - Card #4
Kyle's Stack - (1) - Card #1
Phoebe's Stack - (1) - Card #2

It is now Mike's turn! (Did I say Kyle before? I was wrong )

Mike, you now have a choice. You can either add a card from your hand to your own stack, or you can choose to bid on the number of cards you think you can draw WITHOUT drawing a skull. (Remember, when drawing cards you /always/ start with your own stack first.)

Ill play Card #3 from my hand.

Got it!

Mike's Stack - (2) - Card #3, Card #4
Kyle's Stack - (1) - Card #1
Phoebe's Stack - (1) - Card #2

It's now Kyle's turn! Kyle, you now have a choice. You can either add a card from your hand to your own stack, or you can choose to bid on the number of cards you think you can draw WITHOUT drawing a skull. (Remember, when drawing cards you /always/ start with your own stack first.)

Card 2

Mhmm, mhmm, interesting, interesting.

Mike's Stack - (2) - Card #3, Card #4
Kyle's Stack - (2) - Card #2, Card #1
Phoebe's Stack - (1) - Card #2

It's now Phoebe's turn! Phoebe, you now have a choice. You can either add a card from your hand to your own stack, or you can choose to bid on the number of cards you think you can draw WITHOUT drawing a skull. (Remember, when drawing cards you /always/ start with your own stack first.)

Can I bid five and take all these cards and see what happens? If so I do!

My understanding is that you can. But you have to exhaust your stack first and then select the others. But with five, you're right, you'd be taking all of them. Is that right, Eli?

Also to clarify- our "stack" is last to first for our selections, right? So Mike's top card is actually the one people would have to select first, before they pick his first selection, right?

You can bid 5 and take all of these cards and see what happens! I will confirm this is what you want to do after I answer questions.

Kyle is correct: You would start by flipping your card first, and then you can choose the order that you flip the rest (which won't matter in this case, because you must flip all 5 cards.

I will always create the stacks such that the left most card is the 'top' of the stack. After flipping your own cards, you then flip opponents' cards. When you choose an opponent, you always flip the top card of an opponent's stack. After each flip, you may switch freely between opponents' stacks.

If you still decide to flip all 5 cards, you will become the challenger, shooting for success by avoiding a skull........dot dot dot...

If you wish to flip all 5, please tell me the order you would like to flip cards.

For example: After yourself, Mike, Mike, Kyle, Kyle. Or...Kyle, Mike, Mike, Kyle. Or whatever. It may not matter. Or it also might!

Me, Mike, Kyle, Kyle, Mike

Here we go! Phoebe begins their challenge for success!

Phoebe flips their own card....Card #2 is NOT a skull.
Phoebe flips Mike's top card....Card #3 is NOT a skull.
Phoebe flips Kyle's top card....Card #2 is...A SKULL!

Phoebe has LOST the challenge. I am sorry, Phoebe. But you are not out of the game! Everyone takes their cards back into their hands.

At this point everyone will PM me with a new hand order (if you would like). Because Kyle defeated Phoebe's challenge, Kyle will also choose one of Phoebe's cards to discard, choosing card 1, 2, 3 or 4 via pm to me. Only Phoebe will know which card is discarded. Phoebe will continue the next round with only 3 cards.

Then a new round will begin with Phoebe!

Okay. I like this game.

Yeah. This is solid

When last we left our heroes, the next steps were as follows:
1. Phoebe sends Eliahad her new card order (otherwise Kyle has the information that her #2 is not a skull)
2. Kyle declares which of Phoebe's cards will be discarded.
3. Then Phoebe plays a card to her stack and play resumes.

I'm eager to keep going, so I'm being pushy. I totally understand if people have other things going on (in that case, no pressure), but I also don't want to be waiting just because someone forgot or misunderstood and we could be playing with just a friendly reminder.

I've already told Eli which card I'm discarding.

Yup! I'm just waiting on Phoebe at the moment. But I figured with the weekend and things going on that I wouldn't for a little bit. So, um, yeah...uh...how are you?

Aha! I thought I had sent it already - will try again!
