Round 10/Proposal Ideas: Difference between revisions

With this proposal I want to make the game more competitive. As it stands, you can somewhat easily expect to collect a five-of-a-kind by winning a couple of auctions and trading a bit. I want to remove this strategy as a viable option because it's boring. I will do this by adding and reorganizing a whole bunch of stuff.

* Add a bunch of suits.

** I was thinking that we could take inspiration from other European card decks.

** The cards we currently use are the French deck. We have Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, and Spades.

** The [[w:Spanish-suited playing cards|Spanish deck]] and the [[w:Italian playing cards#Italian-suited decks|Italian deck]] use Swords, Cups, Coins, and Clubs.

** The [[w:German-suited playing cards|German deck]] uses Acorns, Leaves, Hearts, and Bells.

** The [[w:Swiss-suited playing cards|Swiss deck]] has Bells, Shields, Roses, and Acorns.

** Combining these all together we can create a full twelve-suited deck with Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, Spades, Swords, Cups, Coins, Acorns, Leaves, Bells, Shields, and Roses.

* Add a bunch of ranks.

** It will be to get N-of-a-kind hands if it's less likely for any given card to be chosen.

** We could also pull from real-life decks for this, specifically the royalty.

** Spanish decks have ''Sota'', ''Caballo'', and ''Rey''. The Sota is a Page or Jack character, but the Caballo is a Knight. We can steal that.

** Swiss and German decks have the ''Unter'' and ''Ober'' -- two servants instead of one servant and a queen or one servant and a knight. I'm not too big a fan of this, but we could take it anyway.

** [[w:500 (card_game)#Six-handed 500|Some variations]] of the card game 500 use a French-suited deck that has numbered cards going up to 13. Only red 13s are found in this version.

** The biggest source for new ranks is probably [[w:Major Arcana|the Tarot deck's Major Arcana]], which can provide 22 new ranks.

*** These should probably be treated a bit differently than most other cards.

*** Real life Tarot decks don't assign suit to the Major Arcana. It may make sense to follow.

*** If we do that, we could make them less probable to appear and have several hands to create just out of the different Tarot cards.

*** This could potentially complicate the act of drawing cards. Having a split between the normal cards and the major arcana could also complicate rules-writing to a messy degree.

* Change hands to be variable-size.

** This will lower the commitment for the average player trying to join in on the bidding round.

** It will also allow us to create more complicated hands.

** You should be able to just submit the number of cards that make up the hand you're submitting.

* Change the hand rankings and add some.

** In a departure from poker, we will want to change the rankings to reflect what hands are actually the hardest to create.

** We may want to dip into [[w:Non-standard poker hand|Non-standard poker hand]]s.

** I think we should focus on combinations of specific ranks and/or suits as trading for particular cards rather than any random card of a set adds more strategy.

I'd love to hear everyone's ideas on this. Make sure to sign your name if you make any comments on the above. --[[User:CodeTriangle|CodeTriangle]] ([[User talk:CodeTriangle|talk]]) 23:36, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
