OBJECTIVE

Get rid of all of your cards

CARD VALUES

This game uses interpretive mechanics where all number cards are equal to their face values but action cards have unique values for this game only. This game utilizes the four suits. If you are not familiar with them please visit our How to Play page for more details.

• Void = Play all of your cards of the same suit at the same time
• Dragon = Any Dragon can be played at any time, no matter what the current suit is. When using a Dragon, the player may assign a 4 Card Draw to any player. After using a Dragon, the suit becomes the suit of the Dragon.
• Key = 2 Card Draw for the next player. Must be played on top of another card of the same suit or another Key card.
• X = Skip the next player

HOW TO DEAL

Deal out 7 cards to all players. With more than 5 players, use two decks. Place the remaining pile of cards in the center as the Draw Pile. Next to the Draw Pile is where players will create a Discard Pile.

HOW TO PLAY

The player to the left of the dealer starts by discarding any card. After a player discards their turn is over. The next player’s objective is to match the previously played card by either the card value or suit. If the player has no matches or chooses not to play any of their cards, they must draw a card from the Draw Pile. If that card can be played, they may play it. Otherwise, they will add it to their hand and their turn is now over. Play continues until someone has gotten rid of all of their cards. Action cards keep this game at a fast and fun pace.

Hint: The Void is the most powerful card because you can exit the game with multiple cards when your opponents are least expecting it!

HOW TO SCORE

Each round is awarded 1 point. Play to a certain number like 5.
