Search & Destroy

A multi-player card game for librarians and teachers that teaches database search skills while students compete to stay alive. In Search & Destroy, every player starts with 4 cards from the Play Deck. On a turn, the player first draws 2 Keyword Cards and lays one down. They may then play up to 1 Action or Mod card, which may effect themselves or another player. Next, the player searches the terms on their played card(s) in a library database. Finally they draw from the play deck to maintain 4 cards in their hand. Play then moves counter-clockwise. Players are eliminated if their database search yields no results. The last player remaining wins!
