                    Play this card, get the immense joy of seeing your opponent's face
                    crumble in misery. If that card leads to a victory, you get the reward
                    of winning. Then there is the added reward for people who play such
                    games with some sort of stake.
                    
                    That is a reward - plain and simple.
