Title: Mind Maze: The Ultimate Memory and Strategy Card Game

Overview: Mind Maze is an engaging card game that combines memory skills with strategic mind games. The objective is to minimize the value of your cards by the end of each Round. The game challenges players to remember card values and use special action cards wisely.

Game Setup:

• Each player starts with 4 cards, all placed face down.
• At the beginning of each Round, players can peek at their 2 rightmost cards.

Gameplay: Throughout the game, all cards remain face down, testing your memory and strategic planning. On your turn, you have three main actions to choose from:

1. Replace the Center Card: You can swap one of your cards with the center card, which is visible to all players.
2. Replicate a Card: You can create a duplicate of any card in your hand, but you must discard the original.
3. Draw a Card: You can draw a new card from the deck. You can either replace one of your cards with it or discard it.

Special Action Cards:

• 7 and 8: Allow you to peek at one of your own cards.
• 9 and 10: Permit you to see one card from another player's hand.
• Eye Master: Grants the ability to see one card from each opponent or two of your own cards.
• Swap: Enables you to exchange one of your cards with a card from another player without revealing them.
• Replica: Allows you to discard any card from your hand.

Ending a Round:

• The game continues until a player declares 'Skru'. The player who says 'Skru' skips their next turn.
• 'Skru' cannot be declared during the first three turns of a Round.
• After 'Skru' is declared, the Round ends after all other players have taken one more turn.
• All cards are then revealed, and the player(s) with the lowest total card value scores 0 points for the Round.
• If the player who declared 'Skru' does not have the lowest score, their score for the Round is doubled.

Strategy Tips:

• Use the special action cards to gain insights into your and your opponents' hands.
• Carefully manage when to declare 'Skru' as it can either secure your victory or lead to a doubled score.
• Balance between drawing new cards and using the center card to your advantage.

Mind Maze is perfect for those who enjoy testing their memory and strategic thinking in a competitive setting. Gather your friends and dive into this thrilling game of wits and memory!
