How a round works
Everyone races to get rid of their cards. The pile only goes up, so every play is a question: spend a high card now, or keep it for later?
01
You get nine cards: three face down, three face up on top of them, and three in your hand. Before the first play, swap your strongest cards onto the table.
02
Play a card equal to or higher than the top of the pile, or several of the same rank at once. Your hand refills to three from the deck. Can’t beat it? Pick the whole pile up.
03
With your hand and the deck empty, play your face-up cards, then gamble on the face-down ones, played blind. A blind card that can’t beat the pile goes into your hand, along with the pile.
04
Players drop out as they shed their last card. Whoever is left holding cards at the end gets the karma.
Twos reset
A 2 goes on anything, and anything can follow it.
Tens burn
A 10 goes on anything and burns the pile out of the game. You go again.
Four of a kind burns
Four cards of one rank in a row, across players, burn the pile too.
