Components

• Reference Cards x4
• Basic Cards x72
• Color-Change Cards x6
• Ability Cards x8

The Color-Change Cards and Ability Cards are the Special Cards. Ability Cards come as +1, +2, +3, +4 and -1, -2, -3, -4 modifier cards.

Setup

1. Shuffle the Basic Cards and reveal 5 face-up as the Public Area. The rest form the deck.
2. Place the Special Cards aside for later use.
3. Deal 6 cards to each player as their starting hand.
4. Each player draws 1 card from the deck and places it face down in their Personal Area as the first card there.

Game Play

1. Play a Card

All players play 1 card from their hand at the same time.

2. Player Actions

(Players act in ascending card number order.)

When it's your turn, perform one of the two actions:

• A. Trigger the card's effect.

• B. Take 1 card from the Public Area to your Personal Area.

• If cards have the same number, use color order: Red > Yellow > Green > Blue > Purple > Gray.

• After your turn, place your card in the Public Area.

• You can always check your Personal Area cards, even those face-down.

3. Refill Phase

• Hand Refill: Each player refills their hand to 6 cards.
• Public Area Refill: If there are fewer than 5 cards, refill to 5. If there are already 5 or more, do not add any.
• If the supply deck runs out, shuffle the discard pile to form a new deck.

Game End

1. When any player has 7 cards in their Personal Area (including Color-Change and Ability Cards), the current round becomes the final round. After the last player's turn, everyone refills to 6 cards and plays 1 final card, ending with 8 cards in their Personal Area.
2. Scoring Phase (all face-down cards in the Personal Area are revealed): Players score based on their 8 cards. The highest total wins; tied players share victory.

• You may assign Color-Change Cards and Ability Cards to any of your cards.
• A single card may be modified by multiple Color-Change and Ability Cards.

Card Combinations

Form any combinations from your 8 cards, but each card may be scored once.

Scoring depends on the combination type and how many cards are used. (Ex. 3 of a kind = 3 pts, 4 = 7 pts, 6+ = +3 pts per extra card.)

Scoring

Pair: 1 VP

Combination	3	4	5	6	6+
X of a King	3	7	10	13	+3
Straight Flush	3	6	9	12	+3
Flush	2	4	6	7	+1
Straight	2	3	5	6	+1

Example: A player forms a straight (3-4-5-6-7-8) for 6 pts, plus a pair of 2s for 1 pt -> Total: 7 pts.

Advanced Rules

The game is played the same way, with one change in Setup Steps 3 and 4: Each player is dealt 7 cards and chooses 1 card to place face down as their first card in the Personal Area. The starting hand remains at 6 cards.
