Highest Card¶

This game is a card game with N players and NxM cards. The objective of the game is to guess the number of rounds that the player will win with its M cards. Each player guesses in secret at the begining knowing only their M cards, for how many rounds it will win. Then, M rounds are played in which each player plays its highest card. The player that gets closer to the real number of rounds that it wins without passing it, wins the game.

Goal¶

Guess the number of rounds your card will be the higher, trying not to pass it.

Score¶

The score is calculated as:

If the player guesses correctly, it gets -5 point.
If the player guesses lower than the real number, it gets 1 point for each round it passes.
If the player guesses higher than the real number, it gets 2 point for each round it passes.
