Playing cards is always fun , so here comes a new card game made by me : Alpha Cards. The game is played between three players and as of now , it works good. Please comment if you find any bug.

How To Play?

Two cards of each alphabet are taken , so there are 52 cards in total. There are 3 players. Each player is given 5 cards.
You will be having 5 cards in this game. When your turn comes , you can draw a card . After you draw a random card , you have to throw another card of your choice.
Also, you can take the card thrown by the previous player if you wish and the card thrown by you can be taken by the next player.
The objective is to get 5 consecutive letters using one and only one vowel . Eg : M N O P Q
You cannot use two vowels . Otherwise, you can also win by getting a set of 5 vowels : A E I O U
Commands are : !draw to draw a random card , !pick to pick the last thrown card. , !throw to throw a card. and !check to check a hand.

Special thanks to Jamie for helping me with the validation part..
