== The Dwarf King ==

'''The Dwarf King''' is a trick-taking card game played over 7 rounds. In each round, the scoring rules change depending on unique contracts and special cards.

=== Game Objective ===
Collect the most points over 7 rounds. Since contracts can also award negative points, the player with the highest total sum at the end wins.

=== Game Flow ===
The game consists of 7 rounds. Each round follows this sequence:

==== 1. Preparation & Special Card ====
* The dealer shuffles the deck and randomly draws one '''Special Card''' (blue back) to be shuffled into the deck.
* All cards are dealt equally among the players.

==== 2. The Contract ====
* The player who received the '''5 of Dwarves''' (red) reveals the top card from the Contract deck.
* They choose one of the two '''challenges''' described on the card (e.g., "Each trick is worth 2 points" or "Each Dwarf is worth -1 point").
* This contract applies to the entire current round.

==== 3. Playing the Round (Tricks) ====
* The player with the '''5 of Dwarves''' leads the first trick.
* '''Following Suit:''' Players must follow the suit played (Dwarves, Goblins, or Knights).
* If a player cannot follow suit, they may discard any other card.
* The player with the highest card of the suit led wins the trick and leads the next one.
* '''Special Cards:''' These cards often modify the rules of the trick (e.g., changing the suit or the value of a card). Their effect triggers immediately when played or during scoring.

==== 4. End of Round & Scoring ====
* Once all cards have been played, players calculate their points based on the chosen '''Contract'''.
* Points are recorded on the score pad. The special card is removed from the game, and a new round begins.

=== Card Categories & Symbols ===
* '''Dwarves (Red):''' Often the target of contracts (positive or negative).
* '''Goblins (Green):''' Usually low values, often "trouble" cards.
* '''Knights (Blue):''' High values, crucial for winning tricks.
* '''Special Cards:''' Unique effects that vary each round.
* '''Contract Cards:''' Determine which cards are "good" or "bad" for the current round.

=== End of Game ===
The game ends after the '''7th round'''. The player with the highest total score is crowned the new Dwarf King.
