GOTU is a trading card game that can be played by a max of 6 players in a league of all against all.
A player faces off against another player in a bout to collect one of their cards after a win.
The game is played in a similar way as the tic tac toe is played. The table is divided in three rows and three columns, forming nine squares, this is called a “Table”. In each space a card can be placed.
Each game table is introduced with certain game rules which greatly influence the cards to be played and the strategies to win.
The Cards
Each card has a group of four numbers and/or letters on its lower left. Each value corresponds to the value given to each of the four sides of the card. The number above corresponds to the top side of the card, the left number corresponds to the left side of the card and the same for the other two numbers with their respective sides.

The number above corresponds to the top side of the card, the left number corresponds to the left side of the card and the same for the other two numbers with their respective sides.
The numbers range from 1 to 10, with 1 being the number with the lowest value and 10 being the one with the highest value. The letters go from K to A, K being of lesser value and A of greater value. Also letters are considered to be of greater value than numbers.
The stars come from 5 to 3, 5 being of greater rarity and 3 of lesser rarity.

The challenger wins the right to start the game, while the challenged sets the rules of the game before the actual game starts.
Game mechanics
Each player starts with 5 cards in his hand and each player has his turn. The game consists of one side of the card beating the other and turning it over as your property temporarily until there are no more spaces to play. The winner will be the one who has flipped the most cards in their favor.
For example, player X places a card with the number 10 on all sides in the middle of the table on turn 1.

For example, player X places a card with the number 10 on all sides in the middle of the table on turn 1.
Then player Y places a card with K on all sides in the other card’s left side flipping it as a result on turn 2. At this point Player Y has two cards that are his.
On turn 3, player X plays a card with J on all sides in the middle’s card right side flipping it. At this point player X got two cards in his possession while Player Y only has one.
The game continues like this until the spaces in the table run out.
The winner of the game takes a card from the opponent.
The league winner is defined when one player has the most cards and the other players have 4 or less in their repertoire thus disabling them from having the minimum cards to start a match.

How to play it on a forum board or on Discord?
Because we cannot create an interactive table where we can digitally play our cards, we have to simulate it.
