About

Janken Cards is a turn based card videogame, influenced by "Rock-Paper-Scissors". The rules are easy: there are 30 cards on the board and you must fill 3 columns with cards of the same suit in order to win. However, if nobody manages to fill 3 columns, then the one who scores the most points becomes the winner.

Fixing these bugs is essential for improving the game's overall quality.
