Flash Jokers
A downloadable game for Windows
When I began game developing again, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of game assets available now for a person like me. It seems rare to find a card game using jokers and I came up with this crazy idea hoping that it will be fun.
Accumulate points each round to reach the target score by building a play - 2 Pair / Set of 3 / Run of 3 / Set of 4 / Run of 4 - before the game can make a set of 4 jokers. Think fast! Each round you build from a max of 13, 5 card deals using a standard deck of 52 cards plus 13 jokers.
**Controls : **
Left click mouse with home computers.
Tap screen with phone and touch screen devices.
Game Play :
Hit the green shuffle button to begin round. You will be dealt 5 cards. You have a few seconds to decide either to stop the deal and select cards for your play or wait for a new shuffle and 5 card deal. You'll have a maximum of 13 deals each round to build from.
Hit the red stop button to stop the deal. Hit one or more of the face-up cards to either start or build on your current play. You may then either hit the shuffle button again to continue building or hit the blue play cards button if you've completed your 4 card play.
2 Pair - Set of 3 - Run of 3 - Set of 4 - Run of 4 - will add valuable bonus points to your score. You will receive face value points for any cards not part of a play.
Hit the blue play cards button either after you've finished making a 4 card play or you are out of deals. All current points will be added to your total score. You have a target score to reach with-in a set amount of rounds determined by which game settings that are selected. Reach that score to win!
Remember : You must select at least 1 card after you stop the deal before you can shuffle again. When you stop the deal the game will select any face-up jokers and try to make a set of 4 jokers before you can complete your play. You'll loose your current score if this happens and the round will end.
Occasionally you may be dealt 5 jokers. This is called a joker flash. Hit the stop button before the new deal and receive a huge bonus to your total score! The shuffle deal will then continue as normal and you can continue to build your current play.
