QUARKS

INTRODUCTION	
Card game for 2 + players.
Quantum Particle Physics Theme.

WINNING
Be the first player to accumulate 10 points.

THE DECK
Players share a common deck.
There are 4 card types:
Quarks (Building Blocks of Baryons & Mesons)
Carrier Particles 
Baryons (Composed of 3 Quarks)
Mesons (Composed of 2 Quarks)
Leptons (Composed of 2 Quarks)
Score Cards
Special Cards

SETUP
All players start with a hand of 7 cards

TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns.
Each turn has 3 Phases:
Accelerator Phase
Collision Phase
Detector Phase

ACCELERATOR PHASE
Draw 1 card.
If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.

COLLISION PHASE
You may play a Meson or Baryon card to the table.
To do this, you must also play the required Quark cards with it.
(Each Meson & Baryon card lists which Quarks are required)
You may also play Score cards in the same way. 
Score cards can use, as their requirements, Mesons & Baryons that 
You have already put into play.
A specific Meson or Baryon can only be used as a requirement for
1 Score card during the game.

COLLECTOR PHASE
Baryons, Mesons, and Score cards score points when played.
Calculate what you scored this turn and add it to your running total.
Discard cards in your hand in excess of 7.
