Loot the Loop

A single-player adventure uses a standard deck of playing cards to represent a looping temple where the top card marks the player’s current location. On each turn the player moves forward by rotating cards from the top to the bottom of the deck or by using a number card to advance multiple spaces. Actions include exploring (use a number card to move), looking around (reveal two top cards), marking a path (place a number card into a reserve), and returning to a marked path (move a reserve card back to the top). Discovering treasure scores points and removes cards from the deck; revealing face cards counts as traps and ends the run. The goal is to collect four royal jewels and then land on the exit.
