Team War

This game will be played in two teams of four players, decided randomly.

Each player will start with a pack of 3 cards numbered 1 through 12. Players can trade cards, but cannot give/take them.

Each round, the teams will submit a matchup order which will be used to determine four one-on-one matchups. If the members of a team cannot agree on a matchup order, it will be decided randomly.

Once the matchups are determined, each player will submit a card to play against their opponent. Once all cards are in, the score for each team for the round will be revealed. The cards played or the players who earn points will not be revealed.

Whichever player plays the higher number card will win their matchup and gain a point for their team. If both players play the same card, neither team will earn a point. If a player plays a 1 and their opponent plays a double-digit number, the player who played the 1 will gain 2 points for their team.

Players can trade cards to the host for special packs at the cost of garnets. During Order Selection Round 1, players can buy a pack of 3 cards in exchange for 2, 4, or 6 garnets, as well as the three cards. During Order Selection round 3, players can buy a pack of 1 card in exchange for 1, 2, or 3 garnets, as well as one card. The more expensive packs will contain better cards.

After 3 rounds have been played, the team with the most points is the winner, and its players earn a token of life. Additionally, in the event of a team win, the team will give one extra token of life to one member of the losing team. That player will choose one of his teammates to be the elimination candidate.

If the two teams are tied, the individual(s) with the highest sum of the cards they played will be the winner(s), and the individual(s) with the lowest sum will be the elimination candidate(s).

Additionally, players who gain points for their team in all three rounds will gain 10 garnets.
