SOLITAIRE: THE ROGUELIKE

Shuffle a deck of regular playing cards. Deal out 25 cards face down in a 5x5 square. Flip the card in the middle so it is face up. This is the dungeon. Deal yourself three cards. These are your starting weapons.

Your goal is to clear out the dungeon of all enemies. To fight an enemy:
- Play one or more cards from the card in your hand on top of a card in the dungeon. If it is face-down, turn it up.
- If the sum of the value of the cards played is less than the value of the enemy you are fighting, you are killed and the game ends immediately.
- If the sum of the value of the cards played is greater than the value of the enemy you are fighting, you kill the enemy. Discard the enemy card and all cards played, then pick up one new card.
- If the sum of the value of the cards played is equal to the value of the enemy you are fighting, the enemy joins your party. Put the cards you played, as well as the enemy card, into your hand.
- After the battle is over, you may reveal a card directly adjacent to the enemy that was defeated (no diagonals).
- If the card was hidden at the beginning of the battle, take an extra new card.

Jack - 11
Queen - 12
King - 13
