Card system

This is the system for use with The Castle. It is designed to accompany the Chit system

This document is very much a work in progress.

Experience

Starting characters typically have 10xp and so 4 cards. In the Chit system it costs between 1 and 4xp to buy an Advantage.

The Hand

Players will have a number of Action Cards in their hand dependent on the character's experience.

Number of Action Cards Allowed

xp	1	3	6	10	15	21	28	...
Cards	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	...

Gaining Cards

Starting characters draw a number of Action Cards from the random pack dependent on their starting experience. At the start of each session each player draws an Action Card from the random pack and adds any other cards based on Assets the character may have. Before play starts, the player must discard cards down to their allowable number of cards.

Character Sheets

Given the simplicity of the Chit system the character sheet can be printed or written on one or two cards and held in the hand with the Action Cards.

Assets

Assets are traits of that the character has that allows them to draw additional cards at the start of each session.

• Contacts
• Fencing

The Cards

There needs to be at least 40 different cards before we start.

Playing Cards

When a card is played it is either handed to the ref. The ref may vito any card play.
