LOVE(LA)PLACE

37 cards, 3 suits, each with the same number repeated only once. These card suits wind around each other like a DNA double helix. LOVE(LA)PLACE is a deck of cards that includes the numbers 0 to 19 in 3 suits. However, each number only exists in two of the three suits (with the exception of 0, 10, and 19, of which there is only one of each, with 0 being an unsuited card). Rules for many games were available on the publisher's website following the LOVE(LA)PLACE's release. Triangular Situation, the rules that shipped with the deck, is a must-follow trick-taking game for two or three players. As for each turn, Players must play a card that matches the led suit, with the 0 card acting as a wild that may be played at any time. Regardless of suit, the highest card wins, with ties going to the later card played. In a 2-player game, a player sets aside their winning card where it can be seen, because the round ends when a color has won three tricks. The final winning card of the round is set aside and the other cards are returned to the deck, and when a color has won three rounds the last player who won with that colors wins the entire game. The rules for a 3-player game, except the lead passes to the left instead of alternating, the winning card for each round is recorded and mixed back in with the other cards, Before each round begins, players may play one face-down card for a maximum of three throughout the game, which will work toward a tiebreaker. If no color wins three times before players run out of cards, players compete in a round-long tiebreaker involving any cards turned face-down.
