Rules for FEMTO
Femto is a cardgame for two players; a Femto pack consists of eight cards numbered 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10.
The cards are shuffled and dealt, so each player gets four cards.
In each round of play each player puts out one card, face down. The two cards are then turned face up.
The round is won by the higher value card, unless the higher card is more than twice the value of the lower, in which case the lower card wins. e.g. 10 beats 8, 6 beats 5, 3 beats 10, 10 beats 5, ...
Whoever played the winning card chooses one of the two cards and puts it, face up, on the table in front of him/her. The player of the losing card takes the remaining card and puts it back into his/her hand.
More rounds are played until one player has no cards left.
The winner is the player with the greater total value of cards in front of them at the end of the hand.
