Attack and win gems!

Capering ships is the easy part, problems begin with the distribution of the loot, each pirate wants o win gems with seven attack cards. Each pirate, that is, player, has seven attack cards of a color; in a game of three players, all set aside their card of value 1, in a game of four and five players, you set aside the card of value 7. You begin the game with one gem per color, the stack of opponent cards is prepared as stated.

In twelve rounds you reveal the top opponent of the stack; his treasure is won if the total attack value of all players is equal to or higher than the defense value of the opponent. All players simultaneously play a card face-down - conferring is allowed, lying and bluffing, too! Then cards are simultaneously revealed; identical values cancel each other out and are ignored; remaining cards are summed - when the total is equal to or higher than the opposing defense value, the attack succeeds, and the involved players receive gems according to the opponent card and left over from lost attacks, beginning with the player who played the lowest value, and maximum to the player who played the third-lowest card! When the total is too low, the player who played the lowest card of the round - cards of equal value are considered now!  Loses gems, he discards all gems of the color of which he has most gems. Played cards remain on the table. Before rounds 5 and 9 you take up cards played so far.

After 12 rounds each gem scores 1 point, each set of one gem per color score 3 bonus points.

A bit of bluff and a lot of tactic are necessary, as you see played cards for three rounds! Cute, witty and good!
