The Object Of The Game

To be the first player to get rid of all their cards.

The Game Play

1. Shuffle the cards and deal five to each player face down. The remaining cards are also placed face down within reach of all the players and used throughout the game. This is the draw pile. Turn over the top card and place it adjacent to the draw pile. This is the start of the discard pile.
2. Choose a starting player. Play follows in a clockwise direction.
3. The starting player places one of their cards face up onto the discard pile. The card must show either the same illustration or the same number as the card below it in the pile.
4. Any player who is unable to play a card on their turn must take the top card from the draw pile and add it to their hand. Play then passes to the next player. However, the cards are full of surprises and the game can be changed as follows:
5. If a player plays a Dagger card, they can choose a player to miss a turn.
6. If a player plays a Candlestick card, the next player must miss a turn.
7. If a player plays a Rope card, they have another turn.
8. If a player plays a Revolver card, they must swap their whole hand of cards with any one other player.

The Winner

9. The winner is the first player to get rid of all their cards.
