Collaboration between Amelie (vipnvap), Chirel (54R7EURTIF), Wassim (wassimderbel-hub) and Vincent (tovincent) : (FUN) (readme is in the pull request and main.tex is in the comment)"Gameplay Update: Wildcard Round Addition and Clarified Prompt Definitions in 'What Could Go Wrong'"

[wassimderbel-hub]

This pull request introduces comprehensive enhancements to the "What Could Go Wrong" game's instructions, including the innovative Wildcard Round that brings a strategic layer to the gameplay. The modifications present in this pull request are as follows:

Clarification of Rules for Understanding Prompts: A new rule has been added where if a player is unclear about the meaning of a term on a prompt card, there is a structured approach to ensure everyone has a shared understanding before proceeding. This process involves group discussion and, if necessary, a decision by the Card Czar to establish a consensus on the term's meaning.

Wildcard Round Integration: The most notable update in this pull request is the formal introduction of the Wildcard Round. This feature is triggered at a pre-defined moment in the gameplay cycle, such as after every third round, and it allows players to play two white cards instead of one. The specifics of the Wildcard Round are:

Activation: Clear guidance is provided on when the Wildcard Round becomes active, injecting an element of surprise and anticipation into the game.

Dual Play: Players can strategically choose two white cards to play together, adding depth as they consider how the cards interact with each other and the prompt.

Double Points Opportunity: The stakes are higher in this round, as a player can earn double points if the Card Czar selects their combination of white cards, promoting more thoughtful play and card synergy.

Scoring Adaptations for Wildcard Round: Adjustments to the scoring system to accommodate the Wildcard Round, providing potential for a player to earn double points for a well-chosen card pair, enhancing the competitive aspect of the game.

We have also edited the main.tex to include both edits.

I'm enthusiastic about the Wildcard Round addition, seeing great potential for strategic depth. I recommend randomizing its occurrence to keep the game unpredictable and engaging. Additionally, providing clear examples for Dual Play could help players grasp this new concept more easily. I’m also interested in contributing to playtesting to ensure this feature enhances the game as intended.

The Wildcard Round is an excellent addition, introducing an element of unpredictability that can energize the game. I recommend including a few scenarios or examples to guide players on how best to leverage this opportunity, especially for those less familiar with strategy-based card games.

It might be helpful to adjust the scoring system to integrate the Wildcard Round smoothly. Ensure that the scoring rules are easy to follow and do not disrupt the flow of the game. It could be beneficial to include a brief section on score-keeping best practices with the new system.

The documentation is clear, but adding a FAQ section could preemptively address any questions or uncertainties that may arise from these new rules, and I believe you should put the code to main.tex file in the final edition rather than write in the comment.
