[Chance] Bonus Game - Suit Up!

Thanks for all the support over the past 2.5 years! This minigame was cut from the supplement for a number of reasons - It's a card game that's too hard to simulate with dice; it's not really played against a dealer; and needs more playtest. The rules presented are what were briefly tested; they can be changed via Modifications at the bottom.---Overview. The game pits players against each other in card battle.
