Dragon Cards is a popular game in many taverns.

To enable, select the extension when loading your campaign. A button is added to the Tool category of the sidebar.

The deck has 6 suits (coins, crowns, moons, shield, skulls, and tomes). Each suit has 12 cards (uniquely named with a Tarot-like feel, but that's not relevant for this game). There are 2 wild cards: The Mimic (which copies a card in your hand), and The Dragon (which causes you to lose that hand if you get stuck with it).

The rules are explained in the extension, and the DM can click a button to post them to the chat window.

The DM selects 3-6 characters (which may include NPCs - use /dc to add some). Players can control one or more characters; the DM can act for any of them.

It should work in any ruleset, but I've only tested it with 5E so far. It uses the Party Sheet to get the list of possible players, and (optionally) automatically deducts ante (or adds winnings) to the characters' inventory. The ante amount is configurable.

Fixed a bug where sometimes players could see a tooltip showing what a card was. Now only the DM gets those. Oops!
