Royal Family is a two-player card game that uses a standard 52-card deck plus Jokers. Each player controls two castles and must destroy all of their opponent's active castles to win.

• The Starless (Black) - Primary crest: ♠ Spade, Alliance: ♣ Club
• The Scarlett (Red) - Primary crest: ♥ Heart, Alliance: ♦ Diamond

• Each player starts with their primary castle (face up/active) and alliance castle (face down/inactive)
• The remaining deck is shuffled and placed in the center

1. Flop: Deal 3 cards to the field
2. Determine Age:
   • No Joker = Age of Uprising (lower color count goes first)
   • Joker present = Age of Oppression (higher color count goes first)
3. Three Turns: One player gets turns 1 & 3, the other gets turn 2

1. Draw - Take one card from the deck or any field pile
2. Act - Use the card or field it

• Assassin (2): Drawing from the deck kills one of YOUR royals! Drawing from the field lets you assassinate an enemy.
• Raids: When raiding, you can also Kill, Kidnap, or Rescue royals if conditions are met.
• Victory: Destroy all opponent's active castles to win!

The game is built with vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript:

• styles.css - Medieval-themed styling
