Description
Pawndemonium: a unique pawn shop of bartering, where cash has no value and all that matters is the value of your precious belongings. What will you bring to trade away? Your classic guitar? That motorcycle you haven't ridden in 5 years? Or maybe you have something a lot more valuable. A first edition book? An antique gun? Or maybe a celebrity's DNA on a lollipop (we won't ask how you got it)?
At Pawndemonium, players trade their items for other items of lesser or equal value found in the shop. Each item has been examined by a panel of experts and assigned a value. However, some items may have special qualities, such as being first editions or belonging to famous individuals, and thus can fetch a heftier trade-in value. The player who walks away with the most items is crowned the champion.
▼ Pawndemonium Gameplay ▼
Each player begins the game with 2 cards. The remaining cards are dealt into several face up piles.
On a player's turn, he must play one card and place it on top of a pile. He may then choose to trade using that card's determined value, or claim that the card has a special quality and use its ability.
When trading using the value, the player must then collect cards from the top of a single pile that will sum up to no more than the value of the card he played.
When using the ability, the player must collect cards based on the instructions printed on the card.
The game ends when only one pile remains. The player with the most items wins!
