The Unofficial Guess the Card Rulebook

As the title implies, this is an unofficial Guess the Card Rulebook used for the game of the same name. I figured that since the complexity of the game is slowly increasing, what with the hint shop, Elixir, perks, etc. that it would only make sense to make a sort of rulebook compiling all you need to know about the game. It could help new players understand what is going on and acclimatize to the state of the game as it is.

The Basics
The premise of Guess the Card is simple at heart. Someone makes a riddle, and others try to guess the card that the riddle's referring to. If a player guesses the card correctly, they get to make the riddle for the next round. Take a look at the box below which shows an example of how the game is played out:


 * (Player A makes a riddle)


 * Player A: Here's the riddle: This card makes a great magician


 * Player B: Executioner


 * Player A: Wrong answer


 * Player C: Valkyrie


 * Player D: Wizard


 * Player A: Wizard is correct.


 * (Player D makes a riddle)


 * etc.

The Riddlemaker
Loosely speaking, I refer to the person who made the current riddle as "the Riddlemaker". The Riddlemaker is a very important person in the game; he/she is in charge of making the riddle, and to give feedback on guesses by other players on his/her riddle.

To become the Riddlemaker, under normal circumstances, one must correctly guess the previous Riddlemaker's card. There are other ways to become Riddlemaker, which will be explained later.

In the example described above, Player A was the original Riddlemaker; after Player D correctly guessed Player A's card, Player D becomes the new Riddlemaker.
