Mystique Domination

Mystique Domination is a partnership climbing game for The Mystique Deck. Legal patterns always consist of a single color of cards, and suits are irrelevant. With those considerations, the legal patterns are:

• n-of-a-kind
• numerical sequence of any length

Thus, a single card is actually both pattern types, and thus can be followed by either pattern, and can follow either pattern; this means it can also allow the pattern to change mid-trick.

In order follow the pattern that is led, it must be the same pattern, same color, and have a higher total value. Once everyone passes, the person who last played wins the trick, and collects her last play, and all cards on the play pile that match any of the suits in that last play.

Points are awarded based on having a majority of cards in a suit, and by having the majority of cards overall. Once a team reaches 100 points, the team with the higher score wins.
