Variant: Chameleon Suit

Open jakestiles opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Cards in the Chameleon suit respond to exactly the clues that their non-sticky neighboring cards would respond to.

Example: Alice's hand: Chameleon 4, Red 2, Chameleon 1, Blue 3 Bob clues Blue to Alice touching Chameleon 1 and Blue 3 Carol clues 2 to Alice touching Chameleon 4, Red 2, and Chameleon 1 David clues Red to Alice touching Chameleon 4, Red 2, and Chameleon 1

Note 1: This could be implemented with or without allowing the suit to be touched directly. Meaning that in the above example, "4", "1", and "Chameleon" could be possible or impossible options to clue Alice. I'd prefer the suit not to be allowed to be clued directly.

Note 2: This could be implemented with or without "traveling". For example, if Alice's hand was Red 2, Chameleon 4, Chameleon 1, Blue 3, then the Chameleon 1 could respond to only Blue and 3, or also to Red and 2. I'm not sure which would lead to better gameplay. I think I'd prefer no traveling.

For note 1, I think the implementation should be that we can touch the cameleon card directly with a cameleon or number clue. And then we could have light cameleon, brown cameleon and null cameleon which would not allow to touch the card directly with the respective clues.
