The Rules

01Everyone gets 12 cards in hand, plus 4 face-up and 4 face-down on the table. You'll play the face-down ones blind. Good luck.
02On your turn, play a card that matches the top of the plate or goes lower. Got two the same? Play both.
03Play higher and the whole plate is yours. Into your hand. Every last card. That's the game.
04Four of a kind stacked in a row clears the plate. So does a DUMP card. Either way: go again.
05First one out ends the round. Everyone else adds up what they're holding. Lowest total when someone hits the limit wins.
centerfold

DUMP

The wild one. Plays on anything. Wipes the plate clean and hands you another turn.

Get caught holding it at the end of a round and it's 50 points. Worst card in your hand, best card in the deck.

timing is everything!!
