Zark City
A 3HOUSE game by Andrew Looney
What IceTowers was to Icehouse, Zark City is to Zarcana. Here's an overview:
The ever-changing gameboard for Zark City is made up of playing cards and is created during the game by the players. Icehouse pyramids are used to indicate who's in control of which cards. The goal is to completely control a connected trio of three cards which are either Three-of-a-Kind or which form a three-card Straight Flush.
Rules:
- Zark City Version 1.2 rules are available as a 2 page PDF
- Version 1.1 Changes:
- If any players begin with nothing but face cards, ALL players draw an extra card until everyone is able to play a Starter card.
- Draw: When taking the Draw turn option, discard down to six cards AFTER drawing three new cards.
- Version 1.2 Changes:
- Aces are treated as Face cards, not as Number cards. (Note that this change made the photo on this page inaccurate...)
- Rules also available in Spanish (thanks Jorge!)
