Title: MindCraft: The Memory Game

Overview: MindCraft is an engaging card game that tests your memory and strategic thinking. The objective is to minimize the value of your cards through clever use of actions and special cards. Each round challenges players to make the best decisions based on limited information and the actions of their opponents.

Setup: At the start of each round, every player receives 4 cards, dealt face down. Players can only peek at their two rightmost cards at the beginning of the round. Throughout the game, all cards remain face down, keeping everyone guessing.

Gameplay: During your turn, you have three main actions to choose from:

1. Replace the Center Card: You can swap one of your cards with the center card, which is visible to all players.
2. Replicate a Card: You can create a duplicate of any card in play, either from your hand or the center.
3. Draw a Card: You can draw a new card from the deck. You have the option to either replace one of your cards with it or discard it.

Special Cards:

• 7 and 8: Allow you to peek at one of your own cards.
• 9 and 10: Let you look at one card from another player's hand.
• Eye Master Card: Grants you the ability to see one card from each opponent or two of your own cards.
• Swap Card: Enables you to exchange one of your cards with a card from another player, without revealing either card.
• Replica Card: Allows you to discard any card from your hand.

Ending a Round: The round continues until a player decides to say "Skru." The player who says "Skru" skips their next turn, and the round concludes after all other players have taken one more turn. Note that "Skru" cannot be called during the first three turns of the round.

Scoring: At the end of the round, all cards are flipped over. The player(s) with the lowest total card value score 0 points. If you said "Skru" but did not end up with the lowest score, your score for that round is doubled.

Strategy: MindCraft is as much about reading your opponents as it is about managing your own cards. Use the special cards wisely to gain insights and manipulate the game to your advantage. Timing your "Skru" call is crucial, as it can either secure your victory or lead to a doubled score.

Enjoy the Challenge: MindCraft is perfect for those who love mind games and memory challenges. Sharpen your skills, outwit your opponents, and see if you can master the art of minimizing your score!
