  • Basic rules
    • Your objective is to have the lowest possible score.
    • Opening moves:
      • Each player receives 9 cards, which they place in a 3 x 3 grid.
      • Each player then chooses 2 cards to flip over at the start of the game.
      • You start the game with one card already discarded.
    • Lower your score by replacing high value cards with low value ones. Do this via the following:
      • Draw a new card.
        • You can only get new cards while there are still cards on the deck to deal.
        • You have 65 cards.
      • Take the top card from the graveyard and swap it with one of your own.
      • Form rows of cards of the same color to remove them from the field.
    • The game ends when all of the cards of one player are revealed.
      • If your cards form a row, you are given the option to remove them.
  • Turns
    • At the beginning of each turn, you have the option of drawing a new card or from the top of the graveyard.
    • You can replace a card (face up or face down) with the new one or you can discard it.
      • To replace or peek at a card, left click or tap on it to select it.
      • Left click or tap on it again to deselect it and choose another.
    • When you discard, you are given the opportunity to peek at your cards.
      • When you peek at your cards, you have the option of flipping them up or keeping them down.
      • You gain value whenever your cards are flipped up, however if your opponent obtains a steal card they can take your best card.
    • Once you choose an action, you must see it through. There’s no way to cancel an action during your turn.
  • Special cards
    • The game has 3 types of special action cards.
      • Steal: Take a card from an opponent and swap it with one of your own. You can take both face down or face up cards.
      • Swap: Have 2 cards from your deck trade places.
      • Peek: Look at any card you have on your table.
    • You can use them as regular cards based on their value or activate them.
      • Used special action cards go to the bottom of the pile where your opponent cannot use them.
    • You can also use the wild card to your advantage.
      • Wild cards have a value of -5
      • You can also use them to clear any row of numbers.
      • Do not discard them when you find them.
  • Score
    • Your score depends on the value of the cards that are face up.
    • If you make a card face up, you will increase your score based on the value of that card unless it’s a wild card.
  • Tips
    • Discard all high-value cards whenever they come up.
      • Use this opportunity to reveal your cards.
    • Keep track of your face-down cards so you’ll know when to discard them.
      • You can use a pen & paper, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, an online word processor, a note keeper like Evernote, or a simple .txt file to track card placements.
    • Hold on to wild cards as long as you can
      • Don’t always discard your rows of cards, especially if they have the wild cards on them. Ditching your negative cards will cause your score to go up.
      • If you’re given the opportunity to steal someone else’s wild card, do so.
      • If your opponent discards a wild card while replacing a face-down card, take it.
    • Consider keeping your wild cards hidden so you can spring them on your opponent in the end game.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for people of all ages who like card games.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
