Jacks Card Game 1.2.9

Jacks can be played with 2 to 8 players. The players are evenly divided into two, three, or four teams, each with their own color chips. Each team can have a maximum of four players, and the game can have up to four teams.

Each card is depicted twice on the game board, and Jacks, although crucial for game strategy, do not appear on the board.

During gameplay, a player selects a card from their hand and places a chip on the corresponding space on the board. For instance, if they choose the Ace of Diamonds from their hand, they place a chip on the Ace of Diamonds on the board. Jacks have unique abilities. Two-Eyed Jacks can act as any card and allow a chip to be placed on any open space. One-Eyed Jacks can eliminate an opponent's token from a space. Two-Eyed Jacks are versatile for completing rows or blocking opponents, while One-Eyed Jacks serve to neutralize an opponent's advantage. However, One-Eyed Jacks cannot remove a marker chip from a completed sequence.

After completing their turn, a player draws a new card from the deck. Players can place chips on suitable card spaces as long as they are not already covered by an opponent's chip.

If a player has a card with no available space on the board, it is considered "dead" and can be exchanged for a new card. The player places the dead card in the discard pile, announces its exchange for a new one, and proceeds with their turn.

Jacks offers various boosters that enhance the gameplay experience.
