Packing Heat #6

Open GlyphyIszi opened 8 years ago

GlyphyIszi commented 8 years ago

Implement the "Packing Heat" House Rule as a game option.

This is an official Cards Against Humanity House Rule.

For Pick 2s, all players draw an extra card before playing the hand to open up more options.

How do we handle this for Pick 3s? Are there any higher Pick X cards?

I suggest just leaving it at one extra regardless.

According to the JSON file I have, the highest "Pick" number is 3. This can be implemented so that at the beginning of the round with a black card of pick 2 or pick 3, (N+1) cards is added to the inventory where N is the count that is above 1. Again, an optional feature of a game.

Either I'm mis-interpreting what you're saying, or what you're saying doesn't accurately reflect the rules.

How about putting it this way: At the beginning of every round, (N-1) cards are added to the inventory. N is the pick count for the Black Card.

That works for any pick count, including 1, assuming that the draw to replenish the hand to 10 cards is handled separately and before the Black Card is drawn. (As it probably should be anyway.)

One tricky bit though is that there are some cards that already have drawing of extra cards built in. I think those are usually Pick 3s - and it might even be all of them.
