STEP 2
Turn Cycle: Discard, then Draw
On your turn, drop cards to shed points, then draw 1 replacement card.
1. Discard Options:
- Single Card: Drop any 1 high-value card.
- Matching Pair: Drop 2 cards of the same rank (e.g. two Kings or two 9s) to dump points fast!
- 3-Card Suit Run: Drop 3 consecutive cards in the same suit (e.g. 5♥-6♥-7♥).
2. Draw Option:
Draw 1 card from the closed deck OR take the top open card from the discard pile if it helps you.
STEP 3
Declare SHOW & Win the Round!
When your hand score is ≤ 7 points, hit the glowing ⭐ DECLARE SHOW button at the start of your turn.
🎉 Successful Show: You score 0 points for the round. All other players add their hand scores to their match penalties!
💥 Wrong Show: If an opponent has equal or fewer points than you, they score 0 and you receive handScore + 40 penalty points!
