Overview

Play your cards right to be the first to reach 50 points.

On your turn, either draw a card and play it into one of your rows, or bank. If you draw a card you can't play, you bust!

Players who banked score for each Number card played, 3 or more pairs in each row, and bonus points for the longest row.

Components

- 98 Number cards (2-99)

- 18 Power cards (2x ±20; 6x ±10; 6x Cover; 4x Double)

- 6 Discard cards

- 6 sets of player cards (1 and 100)

Gameplay

Players take their turn clockwise, skipping any Banked or Busted player.

On your turn, you must either A. Draw a Card or B. Bank your Points.

A. Draw a Card (Number)

Draw a card from the deck. If it is a Number card, place it face up in either of your 2 rows immediately to the right following their rules:

- All cards in the top (100) row must be lower than the previous placed card.

- All cards in the bottom (1) row must be higher than the previous placed card.

Bust if your Number card cannot be placed in either row. This round you're out and score 0 points. Draw a Discard card.

· Discard card: You may play this on any future turn to discard the card you drew and draw another one. You may only have 1 Discard card at a time.

A. Draw a Card (Power)

If the card you draw from the deck is a Power card, play it immediately for the effect shown. If you cannot, or do not want to, play a Power card, discard it and draw a new card.

· Modify: Tuck it behind the Number card at the end of either row. The value of this Number card in increased or decreased. A Modify card can change the value of a Number Card to above 100 or below 1.

· Cover: Cover it over the Number card at the end of either row. The value of that card is ignored. You can place more than one Cover card in a row. If the end card of the row is covered, instead cover the card to its left.

· Double Place a double card to the left of your 1 or 100 card. Double the number of points earned for the Number Card Tally of this row at the end of the round. Only 1 double card can be played per row.

B. Bank your points

Banking is how you secure your points each round. It also means you can no longer play that round.

Round Scoring

Score once all players have Banked or Bust.

Players earn points from:

· Number Card Tally: 1 point for each played Number card in the row including those were covered. If the row has a Double effect, count double. Do this to each row.

· Longest Row: The player with the most Number card in either of their rows this round will score 5 points. No player scores in the event of a tie.

· Pairs: If a player has at least 3/4/5 Number cards in both of their rows,they will score 5/15/50 bonus points.

Game End

If any plaer has scored a total of 50 points or more, the game ends. The player with the highest scores wins.
