The rules are as following. (Copied from the teacher branch)
You play a normal round of poker but instead of betting money, you bet traits of yourself. The traits can be anything you can name. The traits are not equal in worth, some are more worth than others. A list can be found below.
The game will be played like a normal poker game, you bet and the one with the best hand wins. The winner can choose to either swap his traits with those in the pot or swap these with the other players. You can't swap back traits you had when you began the game. It is possible to win and lose other traits throughout the game. For example it is possible that Mark get's red hair, loses it and wins the same again during the game. He can't swap his own hair back.
Swapping ages or genders does not change you physical. People just think of you that you're that old or the opposite gender.
It doesn't matter what you bet, it is possible that there are several of the same trait in the pot. It's not possible to swap a hand for a foot or something like that.
At the start of every hand, two people have to place a pot. The person dealing has to give in traits worth 1 points, the person right to him/her has to give traits worth 2 point. That then circules clockwise the next hand.
When someone set bets, the other players have to bet equal or more points to continue playing, e.g. Katie has a bets traits worth 4 points, then the other will have to bet traits worth 4 or more points.
Reality adjusts to the swaps. It is only possible to leave the game table in between hands not when the game is played.
All swaps can be reversed any time after two days when all players gather, put their hands on the card box and saying a magical formula.

"Ok and just to remind everyone of how this works for our own game over the vacation. We play before we get in the car to drive to the next location. What we trade you will keep until we are about to depart for the next location. Before playing again we will all reset to what we normally have. Anything and everything is up for trades." Marks dad, Mike, said.
Mark knew that everything was up for trades all to well. Last year the trip had started with small trades but then tricks had been played. He recalled one time that his sister Katie wore a pair of low heals to the trade session and won a hand that resulted swapping them with Marks only pair of tennis shoes. That left him in a pair of heels for an entire weekend.
"Well then lets start this years game!" Mary said as she dealt out everyone's hand. "I'll start out with my eye color" she said as a holo gram of two blue eyes poped up.
"So I have to bet two points......" Katie mused since she sat to the right of her mother. "I guess ill put out my skirt and my bracelet." as they soon appeared floating next to her. Mark didnt know if he wanted to spend this first car ride in a skirt before he could change out at their first stop.
"Hmmm..." his father said as he frowned at his cards. "I'll just fold with cards like these. Not a good way to start the summer." That didnt suprise Mark one bit. His father was a very cautious player and never bet unless he had a good chance of wining.
"Boring as ever dad. I'll call with my voice, and raise u my sandals." Erin said as a musical note with a "E" and a pair of sandals appeared next to her. It was bold and Mark almost withdrew like his father. But he wasn't about to back down to his sister.
"I call with my DS and my hands." knowing that Erin would desperatly want his DS to play since she didnt have her own yet.
"One points not much I call with my hairband." Katie said as the hair band that was keeping her hair in a pony tail appeared before her.
"So two points to call.." his mom mussed. "Then i call with my age." she said as a picture of a birthday cake appeared next to her with two big candles with the numbers 4 and 7 on them. "Alright time to show." Mary said as she laid her cards down with a suprising two pair but the real winner was....   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
