SETUP

Shuffle the full 90-card deck.

 

The youngest player is the dealer. The dealer chooses who goes first and the direction of play.

 

Each player is dealt 2 cards.

 

If a Play Now card is dealt, place it at the bottom of the deck and continue dealing until the player has 2 Action cards.

 

Once all players have 2 Action cards, the game begins.

GAMEPLAY

On your turn, you get ONE move only:

either draw 1 card from the deck

or play 1 card from your hand.

Action cards stay in your hand when drawn

and are played only on your turn.

Play Now cards must be revealed and carried out immediately and can never be kept in your hand.

PLAYERS ARE ELIMINATED IF THEY HAVE 0 CARDS IN HAND.

THE OBJECTIVE IS TO BE THE LAST REMAINING PLAYER IN THE GAME.
