Variant notes

• The group agrees on a fixed number of rounds before play; this preset offers up to ten rounds.
• At the end of each round, total each player’s visible and face-down card values using the rules. The app records the entered total only.
• Do not stop automatically when someone reaches 100: that is an elimination/knockout mode, not this agreed fixed-round scorecard. Lowest total after the agreed rounds wins.
