A Midsummer Night’s Dream

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a ladder climbing game inspired by the eponymous romantic comedy created by William Shakespeare in the 16th century. Players take turns playing cards of the same level or exactly one level higher, or they can draw a wild card, the love-in idleness. When a player plays their last card, the remaining players lose score according to their hand card. The game plays several rounds, and when a player’s score drops below zero, the player with the highest score wins.
