crew52

v0.1

The Crew: Mission Deep Sea is a great card game about cooperative trick-taking with limited communication. At 15 USD, I recommend buying it from your local game store. But sometimes I forget to bring my copy, so here's a patch that will let you play it with just a standard 52-card deck.

deck

Play with the normal rules, except:

• suit mapping: yellow red blue green are now ♥ ♠ ♣ ♦, except for face cards, which we pretend do not have suits;
• trump cards: remove all face cards except one each of J Q K A; these, in ascending order (J < Q < K < A), replace the submarines as the trump cards;
• numbers: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 are now 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10.

challenges

These are the original challenges, but changed to match our suit system, and math transposed to match the numbers starting at 2. Listed difficulties are for 3/4/5 players, respectively. Note that when I write, for example, 2♥, I mean the card two of hearts.
