Five cards are drawn from the mainDeck and become available to be acquired every turn. This group is called the river.

Currently all objects are being created on the stack. Time to change that and send them to the heap.

Currently in the text files cards are simply copy and pasted to add more copies to the game. There are several reasons to change this:

• Duplicates make navigating the card files more confusing.
• The process can create bugs, with some cards differing when they were intended as identical.
• Copy and pasting is never good design.

Before each card title should be an int X the program reads and uses to add X many cards to the deck.

Cards have the relevant information stored in order to be able to target cards from the river or to target the active villain. A lot more methods will have to be introduced later, so implement this in a separate header file that can manage combat.

Create a menu screen that prompts the player if s/he wishes to play the game, read play instructions, read a thematic game description, read details about the creator(s), or quit.

Create destructors for the header files.

Each player has a life value, but it is a moot point since the active villain never attacks.

In addition to reducing players' life totals, the villains should also have attacks which create SCAR cards that go into the players' graveyards. These cards represent the wounds of battle and do absolutely nothing. If a player draws a new hand and one card is a scare, she is essential playing with a four-card hand.

When decks are initialized they are loading the cards from their respective files twice.

Create a Player class. The class should be able to coordinate cards between a hand, draw pile, discard pile, and used cards. All of these groups can be internally handled as Deck objects.

• The draw-pile will be what is mostly commonly associated with as the player's deck in tabletop games.
• The hand will be exactly what it sounds like.
• Used cards will be a very temporary limbo for cards that have been played this turn, and they should all be sent to the discard pile at the end of the turn.
• The discard pile is where acquired cards first go and where played cards end up. When the played deck runs out the discard pile is shuffled and becomes the draw pile.

The player should also have a life total.

Need a class/header that can handle all of the gameplay elements, allowing a player to use his/her hand to target available cards, target a villain, play abilities, or pass.

The game ends when all 6 villains are defeated.

Now that players can get cards from the river, the ability to target a villain should be relatively easy. However, defeating a villain should contain a bit of narration. This is a bigger even in the game.
