"Turn and Fortune" is a thrilling card game that puts you in the
shoes of a fisherman who wants to be the best in the business. As
you dive into the world of card games, you soon realize that you
have 10 turns to make your mark and amass the most gold and fish.
The game is simple - choose three of the nine cards available, and
then pick one option from each card to gain or lose gold and fish.
But beware! Every turn ends with a special trade offer that could
make or break your fortune. The game is built using Unreal Engine,
with a focus on using simple shapes and vibrant colors to make the
gameplay more engaging. Dive into this world and see if you have
what it takes to be the ultimate fisherman and card game master.

How to utilize the game instance in Unreal Engine to store variables
that can be used across different widgets
How to add music playing in the background (without stopping between
changing widgets)
How to make a fully working inventory system (where you can
"collect" and "use" the items)
How to use structures in Unreal Engine to be able to store the card
values and special event information easier
