added explanation for ace
Jun 29, 2017 at 15:31 comment added Blue The ace card is different in that it's scored in reverse compared to the other cards. And your first comment is correct, how would you suggest rewording for it to be more clear?
Jun 29, 2017 at 11:36 comment added Peter Taylor "The ace is special: it wins against a face card, ties with another ace, and loses against a number card." Unless I'm missing something, there's nothing special there: just an overcomplicated abstraction. On the basis of KISS I would suggest making the cards be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M.
Jun 29, 2017 at 11:34 comment added Peter Taylor "Both players receive a suit of cards (2-9, ace and face cards) and another is randomly shuffled into a public zone. The players then proceed to choose one of the cards in their hand to bid for the card." Which card? Reverse engineering from the example, I think that what's meant is that the third suit is uniformly shuffled and dealt face up in a line, such that both players can see the entire sequence of auctions, and then the cards are auctioned off one by one from left to right. Future references to "the middle" are presumably references to the same "public zone"?
