User summary A twisted drafting game for 4 players. Players are dealt 7 cards each, and select one of them at a time, playing them face up or face down before them. When all cards are dealt and played, their effects are resolved in number order, and their effects vary depending on whether they were placed face up or face down. With the various effects, depending on how many of a card you played, or how many of them other player's had face up or face down, players gain or lose points or are eliminated from the round. Game continues until someone reaches 15 points, at which point the player with most points wins.
