## Description
Snorkeling is a fast-paced and fun card game that takes you on an underwater adventure. The goal is to score points by strategically playing cards to keep other players away from the best marine discoveries. On your turn, you can play a card with a value exactly one higher than the top card on the central pile or multiple cards of the same color, regardless of value. Then, you can play a card on another player's personal pile, as long as its value is exactly one lower than the top card on their pile. The round ends when someone receives a card with a value of 0, and everyone scores points based on the top card of their pile. The first to reach or exceed 12 points wins!
