  • Phases
    • The game is divided into rounds and phases.
      • A round is the period where a player tries to discard all their cards. It ends when a player loses all their cards in a round.
      • A phase comprises two groups of cards you must complete.
      • The first player to lose all their cards in the round proceeds to the next phase, while players who haven’t completed their phase must finish theirs in the next round.
    • Unlike the tabletop version of this game, this version of Phase 10 only has 3 phases.
    • In each phase, you must complete groups of cards called sets and runs:
      • A set is a group of cards with the same number.
      • A run is a group of numbers that go in order.
    • The number of each set or run goes up with each phase.
      • Phase 1: 2 sets if 3 cards each
      • Phase 2: 1 set of 3 cards and 1 run of 3 cards
      • Phase 3: 1 set of 4 cards and 1 run of 4 cards
  • Hitting
    • You can discard additional cards by hitting an already formed phase. This involves putting a card next to a set or a run.
      • To hit a set, simply add a number to a set made of identical numbers.
      • To hit a run, place a number on either end.
        • The number must come before the smallest number of a set or after the highest number of a set.
        • In a run comprising 7, 8, 9, and 10, you can only add a 6 or an 11.
        • You cannot add anything before a 1 or after a 12
    • You can only hit phases when you’ve formed your own.
    • You can hit both your own phase and those of your opponents.
  • Turns
    • You play the first turn against 2 computer players.
    • Each turn comprises the following moves:
      • You draw one card from the deck or the topmost card from the graveyard.
      • If possible, form the cards of your first phase.
      • If you’ve formed a phase and have the applicable cards, you can hit your own phases or those of your opponents.
      • Otherwise, discard a card you don’t need and place it in the graveyard.
  • Special cards
    • This version of the game has 2 special cards.
      • The wild card can stand in for any number. These come in handy when you need to finish a set or run.
      • The skip card forces the player of your choice to lose a turn.
    • To activate the special cards, do the following:
      • Place the wild card onto the phase area alongside the other cards.
      • Place the skip card on the graveyard. Pick a player to skip.
