Lucky Pirate

Lucky Pirate is a quick card game with a mix of skill and luck that can be played with 2-6 players. Players get to choose an even number of "up" and "down" cards to lay on the table in front of them and form a hand with the leftover cards. They then take turns playing a card to the middle. Generally each card must be equal or higher to the previous card played but some cards have special powers. Three of the same card in a row will remove the played cards from the game, but if a player finds themself unable to play on the current stack? They must take all the cards into their hand!

Play continues until someone has played all their hand cards, up cards, and down cards. They are then declared winner and Lucky Pirate Captain!
