To play Dvorak: Draw five cards each and leave the rest as a draw pile. On your turn, draw a card from the draw pile and play one Thing and/or one Action. (See the full rules.)

Rules

Cards

There are 3 types of card in Curmudgeon. You can only play 1 of each card during your turn.

Things: When you play a Thing, it goes onto the table in front of you and stays there, usually having a useful effect while it remains in play.

Actions: When you play an Action, it has an effect and is destroyed (sent to the discard pile) immediately afterward.

Events: Like Actions, except they don't have to be played during your turn. However, you can only play 1 Event during whatever turn you decide to play one on.

Some cards have effects that read like this: "Action: <effect>." This means that instead of playing an Action that turn, you can choose to use that effect instead. Not all effects work like this, and sometimes it's Things or Events that aren't played.

Costs

In the upper right-hand corner of every card is a little box with a number in it. That number is that card's Cost. You can only play a card if you already have in play a number of cards equal to that card's Cost. For example, if you had a card with a Cost of 3, you can only play that card if you have 3 or more cards in play.

Winning

Each player starts the game with 0 Points. Points are awarded to players under certain conditions. The first player to reach 500 Points wins.

How Turns Go

At the beginning of the game, draw 5 cards. At the beginning of each subsequent turn, draw 1 card, unless you have 1 or less cards in your hand--then you draw 2 cards. You can then play as many cards as you want as long as you can pay each card's Cost (see above) and have enough Stamina (see below). It doesn't have to be in any particular order, and you don't have to play all 3 types of card. If you run out of cards to draw from, shuffle your discard pile and turn it over. This is your new deck. Proceed as if nothing had happened.

Stamina

On top of your Point total, you also have to keep an eye on your Stamina. Each player starts the game with 10 Stamina. At the beginning of each of your turns, you gain 2 Stamina, but your Stamina can't exceed 10. Every time you play a card, you lose Stamina equal to that card's cost. If you hit 0 Stamina (or less), you can't play any cards.

Crunching

At any time during your turn, you can Crunch a Thing that's in play. When you Crunch a Thing, destroy it. Then multiply its Cost by 10 and give yourself that many Points. You can Crunch as many of your Things as you want during your turn.
