## Description
You know that tense moment when you think 'just one more card and I win', but you end up losing everything? That's exactly the vibe of Fruit Fight (also released as No Mercy or HIT!). The game is a nerve-wracking duel disguised as a fast-paced card game, where the goal is simple: accumulate the highest sum of points before the deck runs out. But don't let the simplicity fool you, because greed is your biggest enemy here.

The deck consists of 90 numbered cards. Cards 1 through 5 are more common (11 of each), while cards 6 through 10 are rarer (7 of each). On your turn, you flip a card and place it in front of you. The fun part? If you draw a number that another player already has on the table, you can steal all cards of that value for yourself! It's the perfect chance to pull a fast one on your opponent and boost your score.

But here's the catch: you can stop after each draw or push your luck and take another. If you draw a number you already have in front of you — and you have at least three cards exposed — you 'bust' and discard everything you've earned in that round. To secure your points, you must move your cards to your personal score pile at the start of your next turn. The game ends when the draw pile is exhausted, and the player with the highest total sum of numbers wins. It's a dynamic game with high interaction and that 'almost had it' feeling that keeps everyone engaged until the very last card.
