Gameplay

Shuffle

• Keep all cards the same direction and shuffle all decks together.... well.... multiple times.....seriously

Dealing

• Pick a dealer randomly...or not

• Dealer deals (like poker) to their left ending with themselves the appropriate amount of cards ... no more, no less... no looking

• Once all cards are dealt, place deck face down and flip the top card face up and place next to the deck

• The face up card is now your DiscardCard

• Upon starting a new round shuffle (see Shuffle) and the player to the left of the last player to deal is the new dealer

Taking your turn

Pickup Phase (Swiping Right)

• In the spirit of a baditude, hurry up.... they're all waiting on you.. yes you....seriously , don't look at me take your turn

• The player to the left of the dealer starts the hand

• A players turn starts with picking up a card and ends with them discading a card, if they have something to discard (more on that later, it gets confusing and why i am putting this on the internet, maybe i will have a web3 site dedicated to this)

• The current player decides if they want to pickup the DiscardCard

  • If they DO NOT take the top card from the deck, ensuring it remains face down , place on top of the DiscardCard and pass to the player to the left. Then they pick up the next card from the deck and incoporate into their hand

    • The player to the left must incorporate these passed cards into their hand

  • If they DO want the DiscardCard they simply incorporate the DiscardCard into their hand

Put'n it Down Phase (Shootin your shot)

• If the player has the RoundGoal they may put it down, no more no less

• If the player has already put down the RoundGoal they may expand Runs & Sets

• The player may swap wild cards for their literal counterpart but must use them in the same turn

• The player may play cards off other players Sets & Runs (be mindful of other players who have already played off Runs)

Discard Phase (Peace bitches!)

• At the end a players turn they must provide a DiscardCard from their hand

• If the DiscardCard is the last card in their hand and it DOES NOT play off any other players Sets or Runs, the round is over all cards that were put down are positive all cards in hand are negative. This player has GoneOut and the round is over

• If the DiscardCard is the last card in their hand and it DOES play the player adds it to what they have down and continues with no DiscardCard and an empty hand until their next Pickup phase so you should push them cards

• If the DiscardCard plays but is not the last card in their hand the player may discard it (other players can pick and play this card)

• This ends your turn
