DM3 - Three’s a Crowd
…but only if “a Crowd” means “at most 6”
(DM by Shaun)
-- Setup --
This game uses a special deck of cards. Each card will have 3 symbols on it.
Every combination of 3 symbols can appear on a card, but not all cards will be used in the game.
The game is divided into 2 rounds. Each round will last 20 minutes, during which a pyramid for that round is slowly revealed.
A pyramid consists of 21 cards, arranged in a triangle. At the start of the round, only the bottom 2 rows, containing 11 cards total, are revealed.
Cards in the pyramid will be labeled A-U, starting from bottom left.
-- Gameplay --
The goal of the game is to earn the most points by finding groups of 3 cards that share at most 6 symbols.
📝If you believe you have found 3 cards that only have 6 different symbols on them, name the 3 letters of the cards in the game room.
If you are correct, you will score 1 point.
If you are incorrect, or the group has already been named, you receive a small penalty of not being able to answer for 15 seconds.
After 4 minutes have passed, or all possible groups have been found, a new pyramid layer is revealed. This will give you more cards to search and find groups of 3.
After 4 more minutes pass, another pyramid layer is revealed, and so on until all 6 layers containing 21 cards are shown. After that, 4 more minutes are given for players to find the last few groups, after which the round ends.
Then, point totals are revealed and a new round begins.
-- Game End --
The game ends after 2 rounds pass. The player who scored more points total wins the DM.
In the case of a tie, the DMO wins.
-- Administration --
This game has no hidden information.
