Card Game: Buried Alive!

Buried Alive

Goal 

To have the least amount of dirt (cards) in your grave (possession).

Contents

2 dice, 1 deck of regular cards (no jokers)

Players

4 

Instructions for Playing

1. Divide your cards into suits.  Each suit becomes the player's hand.

2. Each round, a player will roll both dice.  Once the movement of the dice stops, all players throw down a card that matches that number as fast as possible.

3. The last player to throw down that card will put all the thrown cards into his/her "grave" - a stack of cards separate from his/her hand.

4. The Ace, Jack, Queen, and King are wild cards.  Throw them wisely.

5. If the player does not have the exact card or any remaining wild cards, they can throw down the card closest numerically to the dice roll.  Accuracy always trumps speed.

 This is the 5 rule version of the game Tyler, Rex, Mike, and I made from scratch in Saturday, October 23.  

We made throwing down the card down a top speed, but while paying attention to what needs to be thrown down. This adds challenge to the game by  adding the element of laying out your cards for easy access and then quickly figuring out  what card to lay, then quickly throwing it down. I am responsible for the name while we were developing the game that though of the loser having the most cards, made me think of that raving rabbids mini game where you try to bury your other players so that's where the name "Buried Alive" Originated.

Nathan Loring's revision:

After play testing the game we found that there was a potential for fun in the game. However I believe we found some issues of balance. but after that alot of us had a blast playing this game. The team I was with was civilized and cooperative. one of the only issues we had was writing out the rules the first two times we had some issues ( I thought I did alright with the 5 rule one but that's beside the point). This aside I thought we did great.
