 T-DeckARD is a curated, interconnected and integrated collection of Python 3 modules developed for CircuitPython 10.x on LilyGO T-Deck (but also mostly compatible with MicroPython and desktop CPython) aimed at turning the stock (Circuit)Python REPL into an easy to use operating environment.
 
-T-DeckARD modules are divided into two categories: **components**, which are the building blocks anyone can use to easily create their own applications, and ready-made **applets** which can already be used as stand-alone applications, as well as included as components of other, more complicated ones.

This repo also hosts the **games** section which is just a special kind of applets that implement various computer games.

+## Games (`game.*`)
+
+As of now, T-DeckARD implements the following games.
+
+### Scoundrel (`game.scoundrel`)
+
+A port of the rogue-like card game Scoundrel to CircuitPython. Uses `M` to denote monsters, `W` to denote weapons, `P` to denote potions and `D` to denote weapon durability. 
+
+Implements the [official ruleset](http://www.stfj.net/art/2011/Scoundrel.pdf) of the game with no modifications.
+
+Run: `scoundrel()` from the REPL itself, or use `from game.scoundrel import scoundrel` in other code.
+
+Controls: enter `a`, `b`, `c` or `d` to interact with an item above this letter in the room, or `r` to run from the room in case it's possible. To quit the game before winning or losing, enter the `q` command at any time.
