Bazonga Scorekeeper

A simple scorekeeper for the card game Bazonga

For those who have stumbled upon this app, here's a quick primer on the game:

The game is played with two 52 card decks of standard playing cards. There are 6 rounds with varying requirements to be met before players can play their cards described below.

Each player is dealt 11 cards. The remaining deck is considered the draw pile and should be placed within reach of all players. The top card of the draw pile is placed face-up next to it. This is the discard pile.

Players take turns in clockwise order by taking the following actions:

1 - Draw a card from the draw pile

2 - Play the current round's set of cards

3 - If you have already met the round's requirements:

3a - Play any additional 3+ of a kind

3b - Play a card from your hand on a matching set already on the table (including opponents). For each card placed on the matching set, the player may pick up a 2 used in the set

4 - Discard a card on top of the discard pile. A player must always discard a card to end their turn (ie: a player may not play all of their cards and not have a card to discard)

Twos - 2's are wild and may be played as if they are any other face value.

Buys - Another action players may take between turns (after a player discards a card and before the next player touchs the draw pile), is to "buy" the top card of the discard pile. The first player to declare they are buying the card takes the top card of the discard pile and the top card of the draw pile and adds them to their hand. Play continues normally afterwards. Another buy cannot occur until a player has taken their turn.

Players can buy up to a maximum of 6 times over all 6 rounds. Use them wisely!

Rounds - There are 6 rounds with the following requirements:

Round 1 - Two sets of three (ie: three 6's and three 8's)

Round 2 - One set of four

Round 3 - Two sets of four

Round 4 - One set of five

Round 5 - Two sets of five

Round 6 - One set of six

A round is over when one player has no cards left in their hand after discarding. Each player adds the face value of the cards still in their hand to their score. Face cards are worth 10, aces 15, and 2's are worth 20. A player who has not had a chance to play any cards is considered Bazonga'd and should be laughed at. Once all 6 rounds are over, the player with the lowest score is the victor!
