Rules at a glance

Base game with nine number cards removed unseen. Anniversary special cards are not used.

Your goal

Finish with the lowest total: count only the lowest card in each consecutive run, then subtract your remaining chips.

The flow of play

  1. Reveal a number card when none is currently being offered

  2. Pay one chip to pass it to the next player, or take it with all accumulated chips

  3. After taking a card, reveal the next one and continue your turn; score when all 24 cards have been taken

A quick introduction to the base game. Use your edition’s rulebook for full setup, card effects and exceptions.
