Diamonds is now in alpha!

[ufm]

Diamonds is a trick-taking card game in which players collect Diamonds - not cards bearing that suit, mind you, but rather actual diamond crystals included in the game.

In Diamonds, when you cannot follow suit you get a suit action based on what suit you do play.
Suit actions are also taken by the winner of each trick, as well as at the end of a full round of play.
Suit actions will enable players to take diamonds from the supply, moving them to their showroom (where they may score 1 point) or to their vault (where they will score 2 points).
The vault is a secure area, but the showroom is vulnerable to theft by the other players.

After a full round of ten tricks, whoever has taken the most cards in each suit once again gets a suit action.
If a player has taken no tricks, that player gets two Diamonds suit actions.
Players then start a new round. Whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins!

I would like to see some enhancements made to the Diamonds version on BGA.

1) Please add the ability to play with partners.
2) Please add the ability to choose your partner.
3) Please add the "red diamond" option. (If you get five white 1-point diamonds in your showroom, you are forced to color up to a red diamond worth five points)
4) Make the thief marker optional
5) Give the option to play with cards that look like a standard 52-card deck.

If you have suggestions, please use BGA bug/suggestion report system.
