The Game of Rorrim – A Game Played Against Your Reflection (Or a 1 person game using a mirror to create an artificial opponent)

There is a deck of 36 cards made of 6 suits of 6 cards each.
Each card has one number on the front and another different number on the back
A player shuffles the deck and draws a card at random from it then holds it up in front of a mirror, if his reflection is holding up a higher number than him then his reflection wins; if not, he wins.
Reflection? Higher number? I don’t get it? : If a card has a different number on either side and you hold it up to a mirror you will see the number on the side facing you but your reflection will be holding up the opposite side of the card.
Using Mirror Writing On The Cards : The game would be made even better if the numbers on the reverse side of the card were in mirror writing.
In spite of the novelty element it seems like a boring game: Well it’s more a type of game than a game; you can create better games with the Rorrim cards but basically it’s a type of deck that you can use to play cards with your reflection which, at the end of the day, is no less interesting than playing Patience.
