Jane17Zar: /* Trick-taking */

==Gameplay==
===Passing===
* Each player passes a number of cards equal to the round number.
* If there are at least 2 potions in your hand, you must pass at least 1 potion.

===Trick-taking===
* The starting player depends on the evil progression. If the pawn moves less than 5 spaces, Dr.Jekyll starts first. Else Mr.Hyde starts first.
*Each round consists of ten tricks:
* The starting player leads with any card.
* If the '''starting player''' plays a colour card, the opponent must play a card of the same colour '''or''' a Potion card. If they do not have a card of the same colour, they may play any other card.
* If the '''starting player''' plays a Potion card, they must announce a colour. The opponent '''must''' play a card of the named colour if they can, even if they have a Potion. If they don't have any of the named colour, they may play any card.

===Deciding the Winner of a Trick===
* Compare the played cards to determine the winner of the trick.
* If both cards are the same colour, the highest number wins.
* If both cards have different colours, the stronger colour wins. (Colour strengths are tracked at the top of the board. The first colour to be played during a round automatically becomes the weakest colour. When a second colour is played, that becomes the middle colour and the remaining colour becomes the strongest.)
* If someone played a Potion, the Potion's effect is resolved, then the highest number wins.
* The "+" on the potion cards is worth 0.5: Potion 3+ would beat Red 3, but lose to Red 4.

== Potion effects ==

The effect of a potion is based on the card played by the other player:

* Purple: winner steals a trick.
* Green: players swap two cards.
* Red: reset the color ranking.
* Potion: they neutralise each other, so nothing happens and the highest wins.

== Round Scoring ==

The pawn moves a number of spaces towards Hyde's end of the board equal to the difference between the number of tricks each player won (irrespective of who actually won the most tricks).

== Game End ==

The winning condition is different for each player.

* Hyde: if the pawn ever reaches the last space on Hyde's side, Hyde wins immediately.
* Jekyll: if after three rounds Hyde has not won, then Jekyll wins.

== Variants ==
* Return Match: players play 1 round as Hyde and 1 as Jekyll. The Hyde uses the least rounds to let the pawn reaches the leftmost space wins.
