Poker surge

For trijam #273 "Power surge"

Stranded in a frontier planet of the galaxy, you need to win 500 credits to get back home.

How? You know but one thing: play Poker surge... 

Rules

A game is composed of 5 turns.

Each turn, 3 cards are drawn. You can choose to:

• Play a random card from the 3 that are displayed
• Purge 3 powers

After 5 turns, the player with the most loaded capacitor wins the pot.

But if at anytime you go beyond your capacity (10 power), you immediately lose the game.

Now, play as many games as necessary to win 500 Credits and buy a home ticket!

Comments

Despite the inspiration from balckjack, the game rules are all new and needed much balancing. And yet I guess I could anhance it a lot.

AI of the computer players are really simple, but I could give each of them a noticeable behaviour. I wanted ot give them specific dialogs, but had no time.
