Bartok (game)

Okay, so there's a game called "Bartok" and it's kind of like a card game where you have to be really fast and pay attention to the rules.

Basically, everyone starts with a certain number of cards and the goal is to get rid of all your cards before anyone else does.

But here's the catch - there are different rules for each round of the game, and you have to figure out what the new rule is before you can start playing.

For example, in one round, the rule might be that everyone has to say "Bartok!" before they play a card. And if you forget to say it, you have to pick up all the cards in the middle of the table.

In another round, the rule might be that you can only play cards that are a certain color. And if you play a card that's the wrong color, you have to pick up all the cards in the middle of the table.

So basically, you have to be really quick and pay attention to what the new rule is for each round, or you'll end up getting a bunch of cards and losing the game.

But if you're really good at figuring out the rules and playing quickly, you might be able to win and be the reigning Bartok champion!
