Color Cards is an UNO-style chat game created by Marky. The
Talk City implementation was created by Marky and edited by VViLL.
Each player is dealt seven "cards" at the beginning
of each round. Cards either have color/number combinations like "Green
9" or Blue 3," or have special designations like the "skip," "reverse,"
"draw" and "wild" cards. Players take turns
playing cards that match the card in play, or drawing cars if they
have no card to play. The first player to use up all the cards
in their hand is the winner.
When you enter the game room, type in "join" to join
the game. When the game begins, CardBot (the automated chatter
that runs the game) will send you a private message telling you
which cards you have in your hand (the bot will send you private
messages as your hand changes throughout the game, so you'll want
to keep that window open and visible as you play). If you are the
only player in the room, CardBot will play with you. CardBot will
indicate what card is in play which player starts.
When it's your turn, you'll be told what the card at the top
of the pile is. You need to match the color or number of that card,
or play a special card. For example, if the card in play is "Red
2," you would have to play a red card (like "Red 9")
or a 2 card (like "Green 2") or a special card that matches
the color of the card in play (unless the special card is a wild
card, which can be played at any time).
There are four types of special cards:
Draw Two - When this card is played,
the next person to play must draw 2 cards and forfeit his turn.
Reverse - Reverses the direction of play. If player
2 plays the card, play would revert to player 1 instead of proceeding
to player 2.
Skip - The next player to play loses a turn.
Wild - Lets the player decide what color the next
player has to match. This card can be played even if the player
has another playable card in his hand.
Wild Draw Four - Lets the player decide what color
is in play and the next player has to draw four cards and forfeit
a turn.
To play a card, just enter "play" followed by the card
you want to use. For example, if you wanted to play the Blue 4
card, you would enter "play blue 4" (or use shortcuts
like
"pl b 4"). If you you don't have any cards you can play,
you must draw a card from the pile by typing in "draw" (or "dr").
If you can't play the card you drew, you pass to the next player
by entering
"pass" (or "pa").
The first player to use up all of their cards wins.
The winner is awarded coins. The faster you win, the more coins
you get.
These are the commands CardBot responds to. These commands are
entered in the main chat room:
