# Numbered Cards Game

A solo, push your luck game.

Objective: Create as many sets of cards that add up to 19 as possible.

Draw three cards and place them faceup in a row.
This is the start of the row you will be manipulating.

Each turn, you draw the top card from the deck.
You then have two options:

- Place the card at either end of the row.
- Discard the card to use the card's ability.

Passive rules on the cards apply at all times.

After each move, check the row.
If any number of adjacent cards total 19, then remove them.
They are now a completed Set.

*Game End*

When there are no cards left in the deck, the game is over.
Count the number of complete sets of 19 points.
If there are more complete sets than cards remaining in the row, you win!
