playing a card that matches the rank or suit of the top card on the discard pile and answer one question from the card you are playing
  • Players take turns drawing one card from the draw pile or discard pile, then discarding one card.
  • The goal is to form sets of cards (either three or more cards of the same rank, e.g., 5♥, 5♣, 5♦, or a run of three or more consecutive cards in the same suit, e.g., 3♦, 4♦, 5♦).

2. Icebreaker Twist

  • When a player lays down a set, they must answer a question from one of the cards in the set they are laying down

3. Ending the Round

  • The round ends when a player goes out by laying down all their cards.
  • Other players tally the points of their remaining cards:
    • Face cards = 10 points
    • Number cards = face value
    • Aces = 1 point

  • The player with the lowest score after a set number of rounds wins.
