Charon's POKER

In Charon's POKER each player is dealt 4 cards at the start of a round. After the cards are dealt they may not be rearranged in the players hand. Every player chooses one card to place face up in front of them. Players try to build poker hands like flush, straights and triples during the course of a round with the three cards they have in hand and one card they played in front of them faceup at the beginning of a round. In a turn a player can choose one of two actions: Rest or Charon action. If a player rests they may rearrange the cards in their hand. If a player announces the Charon action every player has to give their leftmost card to the player on their left and put the card they receive in the rightmost spot in their hand. After every player had one turn and the start player had one extra turn the round ends and the cards are scored. Whoever build the best hand substracts removes life crystals from all other players depending on the card combination. The game ends if only one player has life crystals left who becomes the winner of the game. —user summary
