Skyjo (Minimalist) [Scripted]

This is a minimalist version of the Skyjo card game.

It is inspired by the Minimalist UNO[shop.mattel.com] card game, though I made the card myself since Skyjo has different cards.


Original mod "Skyjo [Scripted]" made by Meister-Yoda.

CARDS
- [0] : 15 cards
- [-2] : 5 cards
- [-1] and [1] to [12]: 10 cards of each

BUTTONS
- [Start] : Distributes 12 cards to all players
- [Count] : Shows the score of all players (only counts revealed cards), can be done at any time
- [End Round] : Saves the score of all players at the end of a round, all cards must be revealed


Initial setup

1) Press the [Start] button. Each player gets 12 cards arranged in 4 columns of 3 cards.
2) Each player can reveal 2 cards in their grid.
3) One card from the deck is put in the discard pile, face up.

A random player starts (or come up with your own rules to decide) then each player plays one by one.

Player turn
The player must do one of those things:

1) Pick a card from the draw pile and look at it
2) Pick the first card (on top) of the discard pile.

Then, with that picked card, you can choose to:

1) (Only if the card was picked from the draw pile) Discard it and reveal any hidden card in your grid
2) Replace any card (revealed or hidden) in your grid with it.

Then, if you happen to have a column where all 3 cards have the same value, you have to discard all the cards from that column.

Notes:
- The replaced card always goes on top of the discard pile
- The card you placed in your grid is always placed face up


How the game ends

The round ends when a player has all their cards revealed. There is a final turn that allows all the other player to play.

Then all players reveal their cards and their score is counted (you can press the "Count" button to do it automatically). The player with the smallest score wins the round.

Optional: If you press "End round" button, the score of all players will be saved and added, allowing you to keep track of the total score across multiple rounds. The game ends when a player reaches a score of 100, the player with the lowest score wins the entire game.

Tips
- Getting rid of a column is a good way to lower your score
- You can use big values to make a column since they will most likely be discarded by the other players
- Revealing your cards is a good way to avoid bad surprises at the end of the game, but be careful not to end the game too early
