Game made by Wil Su in his collection Isaludo
You are trapped in a cabin by zombies!
Your goal is to eliminate them before your deck runs out.
In your tableau are the zombies, face cards (K, Q, J) which are initially face down.
The face up cards form the cabin. The cabin and the deck are composed of number cards and the two jokers (indicated by "*").
The number of cards left in the deck is written beside the deck.

On every turn, you must do all of the following:
  1. Reveal a zombie, if any are still face down
  2. Play a drawn card on a valid pile in the cabin
  3. Kill a zombie adjacent to the card you played, if able

Reveal a zombie, if any are still face down

If any zombies remain face down, flip one of them face up. You can only kill face up zombies, not face down ones.

Play a drawn card on a valid pile in the cabin

A card will be automatically drawn and highlighted. Play and place this card on any of the highlighted spots in the cabin.
A drawn card can be placed in the cabin on:
A joker can be played on any card, and any card can be played on a joker.

Kill a zombie adjacent to the card you played, if able

If able, you can kill one zombie that is directly up, down, left, or right from the card that you played.
However, the strength of your attack is based on the two other cabin cards in the same row or column as the zombie.
Think of the card you played as the one facing the zombie, with the two cabin cards behind it as the support cards.
If the sum of the values of the two other cabin cards is more than or equal to 10 (Aces have value 1 and Jokers have value 0), you can kill a zombie, but under the following conditions:
For these three requirements, jokers can function as any suit or any color.
Play until you have killed all the zombies (you win) or until the deck runs out (you lose). Good luck!
