Soda Jerk

Players manage a hand of soda ingredient cards featuring flavors like strawberry, blueberry, banana, kiwi, and orange. On a turn a player either places a card face-down in front of one of the flavor taps or flips a face-down card already on the table. Play continues until a player begins their turn with three cards in hand, all table cards become face-up in sequence, or every card on the table is revealed. At the end, each tap’s value is the sum of matching face-up flavor cards minus non-matching cards (taps can score negative). Each card remaining in hand scores points equal to the final value of the matching tap, so hand management and forcing unfavorable tap values for opponents drive scoring.
