== Game Modes == | |||
=== Magician's Gambit (Gambit du Bateleur) === | |||
The mode as described above is called Magician's Gambit. It includes the card "The Magician" allowing a player to change the suit of a turn into a different one, voiding previously played trumps and thus, if played at the end of a turn, practically guaranteeing a win. After having played The Magician, the order of players will change. The player who played The Magician will from now on be now be the first in order. | |||
=== Magician's Strategy (Stratégie du Bateleur) === | |||
In Magician's Strategy, The Magician's power is reduced. While it can still be used to change the turn's suit, previously played trumps will not be voided. Playing The Magician will also not change the order of players. This makes the card more of a method to manage loss, rather than a guaranteed win. | |||
=== Suit Supremacy (Suprématie des Couleurs) === | |||
In this variant of the game, The Magician has no special ability, it is a normal trump card, although it retains its value. While in the other variants, a suit card can only be trumped by a higher card of the same suit, or a trump card, in Suit Supremacy, suits can also trump other suits. The order is Wands > Cups > Swords > Pentacles > Wands. That means, a King of Cups will trump a Queen of Cups, but even a Two of Wands will trump a King of Cups. At the same time, a Two of Pentacles will trump a Two of Wands. | |||
