Game Rules

Setup

Each player receives:

• 3 face-down cards (identity unknown until played)
• 3 face-up cards (visible to all players)
• 3 cards in hand (only visible to the player)

Objective

The goal is to be the first player to play all your cards - first from your hand, then your face-up cards, and finally your face-down cards.

Game Flow

1. The game starts with an empty discard pile
2. Players take turns clockwise, starting with a randomly determined player
3. On your turn, you must play at least one card onto the discard pile
4. If you cannot play, you must pick up the entire discard pile into your hand

As long as the draw pile is not empty, you must draw cards to always have at least 3 cards in hand at the end of your turn.

Card Playing Rules

• You must play cards in order: hand cards first, then face-up cards, then face-down cards
• Cards played must be of equal or higher rank than the top card in the discard pile
• You can play multiple cards of the same rank at once
• You can only access your face-up cards when your hand is empty
• You can only access your face-down cards when both your hand and face-up cards are empty

Special Cards

• 2s: Can be played on any card (wildcards)
• 3s: Can be played on any card (wildcards)
• 7s: When played, the next player must play a 7 or lower
• 8s: When played, the next player is skipped
• 10s: When played, the discard pile is "burned" (removed from play), the player who played the card can play again
• Jokers: Wild cards that can be assigned any rank

Other Rules

• Four (or more) cards of the same rank in a row clears the discard pile, the player who played the last card can play again
• When playing from face-down, if the card cannot be legally played, you must take the entire discard pile into your hand
• Face-up cards can be played with hand cards only when all hand cards of the same rank are played together
