Here is the code of this game. I want to change some part of them.
1. Since I don't know what part of code is "responsible" for the
number of cards, so I don't know how to add a "card number check"
attribute, I mean, to check the number of card is more enough for next
time play no matter how many players there are, if cards are not more
enough, print out a notice and stop the program;
2. I am not sure if I can let the winner get all of the cards and
print out what cards the winner has when the game finished.

Thank you!
