A computed implemented method, executed by a processor on a non-transitory recording medium, for executing a game, wherein the computer implemented method outputs a graphical user interface for increasing interactions between a first player and a second player on a gameboard such that the computer implemented method provides an entertaining experience of a strategic playing card game between the first player and the second player, wherein the computer implemented method comprises:
- a. providing a graphical user interface comprising a gameboard, wherein the gameboard comprises:
- (i) a first area having a first shape comprising a first group of playing cards from a deck of a plurality of playing cards, wherein the first shape defines a first stylized representation of Americas;
- (ii) a second area having a second shape comprising a second group of playing cards from the deck, wherein the second shape defines a second stylized representation of Europe;
- (iii) a third area having a third shape comprising a third group of playing cards from the deck, wherein the third shape defines a third stylized representation of Africa;
- (iv) a fourth area having a fourth shape comprising a fourth group of playing cards from the deck, wherein the fourth shape defines a fourth stylized representation of Asia;
- (v) a fifth area having a fifth shape comprising a fifth group of playing cards from the deck, wherein the fifth shape defines a fifth stylized representation of Australia;
- (vi) a first connector that connects the second area to the first area;
- (vii) a second connector that connects the third area to the second area;
- (viii) a third connector that connects the first area to the third area;
- (ix) a fourth connector that connects the third area to the second area;
- (x) a fifth connector that connects the second area to the fourth area;
- (xi) a sixth connector that connects the fourth area to the first area;
- and
- (xii) a seventh connector that connects a three of the first suit in the fourth area to the nine of the first suit in the third area;
- b. transmitting, by the processor, to at least one of a first computing device and a second computing device, information corresponding to a plurality of first player holding cards are all a first suit of a deck of playing cards, wherein only the first suit is assigned to the first player, and wherein the first computing device comprises a first display and wherein the second computing device comprises a second display;
- c. transmitting, by the processor, to at least one of a first computing device and a second computing device, information corresponding to a plurality of second player holding cards, wherein the second player holding cards are all a second suit of the deck of playing cards, wherein only the second suit is assigned to the second player;
- d. transmitting, by the processor, to at least one of a first computing device and a second computing device, information corresponding to a plurality of board playing cards from the deck of playing cards defining a plurality of areas to be displayed on at least one of a first display and a second display;
- e. receiving, from at least one of a first computing device and second computing device, information corresponding to a swap request from a requesting player, wherein the requesting player device is one of the first player computing device and second player computing device, to swap a selected holding card from one of a requesting player's holding cards with a selected board playing card of one of the plurality of board playing cards;
- f. after receiving the swap request, determining, with the processor, if information sent in the request corresponds to that the selected board playing card is at least one of 1) an uncontrolled card, 2) one of an opposing player's controlled cards, wherein the opposing player is one of the first player and second player that is not the requesting player and wherein the opposing player has an opposing player computing device that is one of the first player computing device and second player computing device, 3) one of a requesting player's controlled cards, wherein the uncontrolled card comprises a third suit, wherein the opposing player's controlled card comprises the suit assigned to the opposing player, and wherein the requesting player's controlled card comprises the suit assigned to the requesting player;
- g. if the processor determines that information sent in the swap request that corresponds to the selected board playing card is one of the uncontrolled cards, then transmitting, with the processor, to at least one of the requesting player computing device and opposing player computing device, information corresponding to 1) displaying the selected holding card wherein the selected board playing card was positioned on the game board before the swap request was received and 2) adding the selected board playing card to the requesting player's holding cards;
- h. if the processor determines that information sent in the swap request that corresponds to the selected board playing card is one of the opposing player's controlled cards, then transmitting, with the processor, to at least one of the requesting player computing device and opposing player computing device, information corresponding to having displayed both a first battle card randomly selected from the requesting player's holding cards and a second battle card randomly selected from the opposing player's holding cards;
- i. after the first battle card of the requesting player and the second battle card of the opposing player are selected, determining with the processor that the requesting player is a battle winner when information corresponding to the first battle card of the requesting player has a ranking greater than the second battle card of the opposing player, and sending to least one of requesting player computing device and opposing player computing device information corresponding to 1) replacing the selected board playing card with the selected holding card of the requesting player, 2) adding the selected board playing card to the opposing player's holding cards;
- and, 3) adding the first battle card of the requesting player to the requesting player's holding cards and adding the second battle card of the opposing player to the opposing player's holding cards;
- j. after both the first battle card of the requesting player and the second battle card of the opposing player are displayed, determining with the processor that that opposing player is the battle winner when information corresponding to the second battle card of the opposing player has the ranking greater than the first battle card of the requesting player and sending to least one of requesting player computing device and opposing player computing device information corresponding to 1) not replacing the selected board playing card with the selected holding card, and 2) adding the first battle card of the requesting player to the requesting player's holding cards and adding the second battle card of the opposing player to the opposing player's holding cards;
- and
- k. wherein the first player and second player alternate turns for sending swap requests until the processor determines information corresponding to that one of the first player and second player accumulates a winning hand.
