Moogleii: /* Game Setup */ Fix initial hand size and round end conditions

== Chu Han ==

'''Chu Han''' is a tactical card game for 2 players (Han vs. Chu), simulating the historical conflict to claim the empire through card combinations and legendary characters.

=== Game Objective ===
Be the first to reach '''31 or more Victory Points (VP)'''. Points are awarded at the end of each round based on remaining hand cards.

=== Game Setup ===
* One player represents the '''Han''' (Blue), the other the '''Chu''' (Red).
* The deck consists of Troop cards (Values 1–9) in various colors and special Character cards.
* Each player starts with a hand of 15 cards.

=== Gameplay ===
The game is played over several tricks:

1. The player '''on lead''', in either order:

* may play 1 LEAD power, and/or
* may take a writ and draw 2 cards.

2. The lead player must play a '''set''' of 1+ cards, all the '''same''' rank.

3. The other player is then on '''response'''. They:

* may take a writ and draw 2 cards, and then
* must either play a '''higher rank''' set or pass.

A set played on response must be the '''same number of card'''s as the set led (and of higher rank than the last set played). Continue step 3 until a player passes, yielding the lead. Then, discard all cards played.

=== Key Categories & Symbols ===
* '''Troops (1-9):''' The foundation for all combinations.
* '''Characters:''' Unique cards with powerful effects that can shift the momentum.

=== End of Round & Scoring ===
A round ends when one player plays all their hand cards.
* The winner scores points both for cards remaining in their rival’s hand and for any writs that their rival took.
* If a player reaches the '''31-point threshold''', the game ends immediately.

=== Strategic Considerations ===
* '''Timing:''' When is the best moment to play powerful characters to force the opponent to pass?
* '''Hand Management:''' Should I hold low cards for sequences or use them for quick tactical actions?
