PARZAK
Complete Game Manual
Overview
Parzak is a 2–4 player competitive card-and-dice game. Each player competes to trigger and win Jackpot spins on the Wheel, accumulating Latinum from a shared pot. The game spans multiple levels (matches), with opponents growing stronger each round. A run ends when the player is eliminated or quits.
The Deck — Gren Cards
The deck contains 90 Gren cards: 5 suits × 18 numbers (1–18).
| Icon | Suit | Color |
|---|---|---|

.png) | Gerf | Dark Green |

Each player holds a hand of 5 cards (upgradeable). Cards are drawn from the shuffled deck; when the deck runs out it reshuffles from the discard pile.
Starting a Match
- Each player starts with 100 Latinum (₤).
- AI opponents start with Level × 100 ₤ (Level 1 = 100₤, Level 2 = 200₤, etc.).
- The starting pot equals half the AI's starting Latinum for that level.
- Each player is dealt 3 Nandi cards (1 face-up, 2 face-down) and a 5-card hand.
Turn Structure
Each turn has the following phases in order:
- Pay Phase — Pay 3₤ entry fee to the pot (reduced to 1₤ with Tax Break item). If you have ≤3₤ at the start of your turn you are eliminated (unless Insurance is active).
- Discard Phase — Freely swap up to 3 cards from your hand (select them, then press Discard), or use Discard All (costs 5₤) to replace your entire hand. Free Swap+ raises the free limit to 5 cards. With the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! item, you may discard twice in a single turn.
- Roll Phase — Roll dice to match card numbers in your hand and move them to the table. Roll again (Extra Roll) for an escalating cost (starts at 5₤, then 10₤ per additional roll).
- Jackpot Phase — Triggered when your table cards total 25 or more, or when all 3 Nandi cards are completed. The Parzak Wheel spins to determine your prize.
- End Phase — Click End Turn to pass to the next player.
Rolling Dice
Dice in Parzak are d18 — each die shows a value from 1 to 18.
- Choose to roll 1, 2, or 3 dice using the 1 / 2 / 3 buttons, then press Roll.
- Roll cost: 1 die = 3₤ | 2 dice = 6₤ | 3 dice = 9₤.
- If the dice total matches a card number in your hand, that card moves to the table.
- After rolling, press Reroll to select specific dice and re-roll them (escalating cost). If you rolled only 1 die, Reroll is ready immediately — no selection needed.
- Keep rolling to build up table card value. The Jackpot triggers as soon as your table total reaches 25. A perfect score of exactly 25 guarantees a Parzak result on the wheel.
The Parzak Wheel
The Parzak Wheel spins automatically when the combined value of your table cards is 25 or more. If the total equals exactly 25 (a Perfect Score), the wheel still spins but the result is guaranteed to be a Parzak — winning the entire pot and ending the match. The only way to respin the wheel is through certain items. A Parzak ends the match instantly.
The wheel has two layers:
| Layer | Sections |
|---|---|
| Outer Ring | 5 suit sections (Fern, Gerf, NOG, Quark, ROM) |
| Inner Disk | 3 range sections (3–7, 8–12, 13–18) |
The pointer at the top determines the winning Suit and Range. Your 3 table cards are then checked against those results:
| Win Tier | Condition | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| PARZAK | Dice sum = range, AND one card matches both the suit AND the exact dice sum | Entire pot |
| BIG JACKPOT | 2 or more of: dice in range, a card matches suit, a card number in range | 60% of pot |
| BASIC JACKPOT | Dice in range OR a card number in range (but no matching suit) | 30% of pot |
| SMALL WIN | Only a suit match (no range conditions met) | 10% of pot |
| NO WIN | No conditions met | Nothing |
After any jackpot result — win or lose — all table cards are discarded and you continue your turn. During the spin you can click anywhere to skip to the result instantly. Click again once the result is shown to dismiss and continue.
Nandi Cards
Each player starts with 3 Nandi objective cards (1 revealed, 2 hidden). Completing the active Nandi card reveals the next and grants a Nandi Reward. When a new card flips face-up, if the condition is already met by the current game state, it completes instantly. Click any Nandi card — active or completed — to view its details.
Nandi Rewards (by slot)
- All opponents pay 3₤ to the pot; their costs double next turn.
- All opponents pay 15₤ to the pot; you get a free Extra Roll next turn.
- Spin the Wheel! — a free bonus Jackpot spin.
