Play 3 or 5 cards based on which game you selected with a sum total of less than what the Game Creator set. 1. For example, if the sum of the game creator's cards was 20, you need to play cards that equal a sum of 20 or less. 3. Lock your cards in the same way you would for a single card game and the battle is set. **Results** ----------- As mentioned previously, the goal is for either your 2 best cards (3 card game) or 3 best cards (5 card game) to be higher than the opponents' with some exceptions. See the conventional game and exceptional cases below. ### Type 1: Conventional Game Your 2 or 3 best cards are higher than the opponent. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/b4922702b8728e4c8b5a036ba13a5e2d.png) Maker wins will three higher cards vs. the Challenger's 2. ### **Type 2: Joker gets the Win** This is the same as a conventional game. As your opponent did not play an Ace, the Joker is the strongest card and beats the opponents king. The majority of your cards are better than your opponent so you win! ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/251d8f8ff6ab76b76b8b5451883ab86d.png) Maker wins will three higher cards, including the Joker. ### Type 3: Joker Killing You played a Joker but your opponent played an Ace. This means that you automatically lose! We call this a Joker Killing and will meme you to our hearts' content! ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/4cddde87e6a97f6986ce8b7335170a31.png) You lost with your Joker vs. an Ace! ### Type 4: Cancelled Jokers If both players play a Joker and an Ace, these four cards cancel each other out. This game ends in a draw. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/2ba9cbf44977febd49fdf66ef5c93f09.png) Two Jokers and two Aces means a draw! **Rewards** ----------- Rewards for a 3 and 5 card game or 3x and 5x respectively vs. 1 card games. That means winning one 5 card games and five 1 card games have the same impact on increasing your rewards share! **Tournament: 100,00 $DEGEN Incoming!** --------------------------------------- We will be hosting a special 5 card tournament for the top 16 Cardians starting 7/31. The prize will be 100,000 $DEGEN! The tournament players will be determined based on who wins the most multi-card games between 7/25 and 7/30 so be sure to get your games in by then!
