Game Idea: Trade War

Logline: Get the goods.

2 Players. One is China, One is the US.

China starts with 6 cards: 3 "Cheap Labor", 3 "Huge Unregulated Market"

US starts with 6 cards: 3 "High Technology", 3 "Hollywood Movies"

There are 2 other sets of cards: "Oil" and "Food".

Each card "type" has a total of 4 in the entire deck - so there are 6 x 4 = 24 total cards.

All non-starting cards remain in the DRAW pile.

Players begin the game by HIDING 3 of their card and making the other 3 cards PUBLIC.

On your turn, a player is able to:

A) Swap one of their PUBLIC cards for an enemy PUBLIC card.
B) Swap one of their HIDDEN cards for an enemy HIDDEN card.
C) Draw a card from the DRAW pile and replace one of their PUBLIC cards (it goes to the discard pile)
D) Swap one of their PUBLIC cards with one of their own HIDDEN cards.

The first player to complete their trading needs wins.

China needs: 2 x Hollywood Movies; 2 x High Technology; 1 x Oil, 1 x Food.
US needs: 2 x Cheap Labor; 2 x Huge Unregulated Market; 1 x Oil, 1 x Food.
