\ Cards /


Red: Attack something.
Yellow: Look for something.
Green: Outsmart someone or do something carefully.
Blue: Protect yourself from attack or hazard.

____________________
\ Declaring Intent /


Scenario/Draw: You are told the setting then given 5 cards, or cards to replace those you played.

A. Choose Special: If you have any, you may opt to use 1 before playing cards.
B. Play Cards: You may not use any or play up to 5. You can explain why they are relevant to your turn.
C. Describe Intention: Describe what you want to accomplish; use the setting, your profession, or held items to your advantage. You may wish to clarify why they would help.

1) Picking up an item you found as result of your last turn, doesn't end your turn. That's a free action.
2) You cannot discard cards other than by playing them or using a special. If you play a card that is not relevant to your action/intention, it will be returned back to you in its original position in your hand.
3) When playing cards, the right-most(newest) are used first, when you play a card you have more than 1 of.
4) Zombies get stronger and more numerous the more turns that pass.
5) The game gets easier the more cards you discard.
6) Getting hurt cause you to lose cards directly from your deck, not from hand.
7) Discard 50 Cards: Succumb to the disease! That's right! You've been bitten! But your blood type is very resistant to it. You might even last a few days. What are you going to do about it?

____________
\ Specials /


As you play cards and your discard pile grows you will discover new card abilities, called specials. Every 10 cards you can choose either an ability to make your cards more powerful, or run out more slowly.

10
BOUND: Play your oldest(left-most) card. It doesn't go into the discard pile.
BREAK: Play your oldest(left-most) card as any color you want.

20
BLINK: Select 2 adjacent cards that are of different color, and play them. They don't go into the discard pile and swap positions.
BLEND: Select 2 adjacent cards that are of different color. Choose a color that is different than either card, and play them. Both become the chosen color.

30
BLOCK: Play this ability only if you have 3 or more of the same color cards in a row. Choose a card color other than those cards. You cannot play cards this turn. You cannot be hurt this turn. If you were attacked your newest card from the row goes into the discard, and you draw the chosen color.
BLOOM: Choose a card color that you have atleast 1 of before playing cards this turn Keep atleast 1 of them, you will only draw that color.

40
BONUS: If you get a kill this turn you will get a prize: If there was a player you get half their discard put into your deck, if not, if there was a human you get 3 cards put from your discard pile into your deck, if not, if you killed a zombie you get 1 card put from your discard pile into your deck. Rewards do not stack.

Multiplayer: After turn 3 it is possible to find a radio.

Looks cool so
Be sure to share your ideas for the game. Not much easier to update than a forum game.

Game Update 1.2.1
-The Special 'Boost' will now be available after discard 1.
This delay will allow it to be introduced more timely.
-Minor grammatical changes.

Sorry I meant signboards such as the ones that have addresses on them.
Any information about your location is decided by what location type you are trying to find, and what choises you make to improve that outcome whether by playing cards, or using your items, profession, or current setting to your advantage. A general address, something that gives information about the surrounding in and of itself, cannot be found without a specific search of what you hope to find there.
Look around and see if there are any buildings of interest.
You must specify what building you are looking for. At least a general category such as medical or shopping.

For the defibrillator, I was thinking of a portable one you can wear on your back.  Would that be a problem and/or make me less encumbered?

Anyway:

Green and Yellow (We can play 5 cards a turn, right?):

Quietly look for survival shop again. Leave the defibrillator here, and come back to get it later, assuming I can remember this place.

Those green cards will help you stay sneaky, but they don't help you in finding anything. Also a reminder you can play multiple cards per turn, the same type or otherwise.

Yellow:

"Tool" is vague. Choose to look for a weapon or a specific desired purpose for a tool, such as "a tool that can dig". Adding "or food" is ok, but will count a a second turn, and the yellow card will not apply to it.
