Observer

This game turned out to be a different beast than we had imagined it. It's not the perfect game, but we had fun making it, and learned a lot about the process along the way. We hope you enjoy!

The original premise was:  
[You are an OBSERVER, an individual tasked with monitoring the conditions of a multitude of planets and colonies across the galaxy. Always watching. Almost never intervening. That is, until now.  

Upon waking from cryo-sleep you find worlds desolate. Signs of life nearly non-existent. Something has made once bustling colonies crumble to dust and now the planets on which they resided are doing the same. Worse is that this phenomenom seems to be spreading. 

In a last ditch effort you will use systems of your craft to utilize the resources of these dying planets in an attempt to stabilize them, stop the spread of whatever is killing them, and if you're lucky, find proof that you're not the only one left in this endless void.]

Rules:

The game starts with each player having 3 cards. At the beginning of each turn a player is dealt 3 more cards. The 44 possible card drawn from the deck consist of 4 suits, each of which contains 4 values (1, 5, 10, and 20).

Each turn a player may play a hand of up to 5 cards and receive points depending on their values. Upon playing specific combinations of cards you may receive a multiplier to the value of those cards. These combinations are mostly based off of the hands found in Poker.  Cards that are not an active part of the combination will still contribute to the score, but will not benefit from the multiplier.

Your opponent should be rather easy to beat. At least for now; until our developer has more time to adjust it's intelligence. Then you better watch out. 

You win if you have a higher score than your opponent when the deck runs out of cards. Good luck!
