=SLAMBO!=
==Overview==
'''SLAMBO!''' is a fast-paced card game played in rounds called '''bouts'''. Players take turns adjusting a shared '''balance total'''—but push it too far and your opponent will shout '''SLAMBO!'''

#Place the '''start card''' in the middle with the 0–10 side up
# Place '''1 shame card''' next to the start card
#Set remaining shame cards aside as a supply
# Give each player a '''player aid'''
#Shuffle the number cards (only add special cards with 3+ players)
#Deal each player a starting hand (see table above)
#Set leftover cards facedown
#Choose a random player to go first

==Gameplay==
===Turn===
*Players take turns playing '''1 card face up''' onto the central pile
*Only the '''top card''' of the pile should be visible
*The starting balance total is '''5'''
Each time you play a card:
*Adjust the balance total by the number on the card
**'''Blue cards''' raise the total
**'''Red cards''' lower the total
*'''Shout the new total'''
----
===SLAMBO!===
If the balance total goes:*'''Above 10'''
*'''Below 0'''
👉 Your opponent shouts '''SLAMBO!''' and you lose the bout
*The losing player takes '''all shame cards''' from the middle
----
=== Break===
If both players run out of cards and no one is SLAMBO’d:
*The referee calls '''BREAK!'''
*No one takes shame cards
*Add '''1 shame card''' next to the start card
'''Important:''' The next bout will be worth more shame
----
===Again===
If no player has 3 shame cards:
*Play another bout
*The loser of the last bout goes first
If the last bout ended in a break:*The player who went second goes first
----
==Win Condition==
If any player has '''3 or more shame cards''' at the end of a bout:*That player loses
*The remaining player wins
----
==3–4 Player Rules ==
* Shuffle the '''6 special cards''' into the deck
* The game ends immediately when any player has '''3 or more shame'''
*That player loses
*All other players win
----
== Special Cards==
*After adjusting the balance total, '''reverse the turn order'''
*If a player has no cards left, '''skip their turn'''
Special effects:
*Choose whether a card’s number is '''positive or negative'''
*Copy the last card played**If the last card copied something, copy that result
----
==Expert Match (1–9) ==
For a more suspenseful game:
*Flip the start card to the '''1–9 side'''
Now SLAMBO occurs if the balance total goes:
*'''Above 9'''
*'''Below 1'''
----
==Example==*Player 1 plays a blue 4 → “9!”
*Player 2 plays red -7 → “2!”
Later in the bout:
*Balance is 1
* Player 1 plays blue 2 → “3!”
*Player 2 plays red -5 → “-2!”
*Player 1 shouts: '''SLAMBO!'''
----
==Components==
*1 Start Card (Hakkeyoi, Nokotta!)
*9 Shame Cards (Haji!)
*17 Number Cards (9 blue, 8 red)
*6 Special Cards
*4 Player Aids
----
==Theme Note==
'''Hakkeyoi!''' (“come on!”) and '''Nokotta!''' (“remaining!”) are traditional sumo referee calls used during matches.
