Albatraous: Actually put in some rules as it was missing entirely.

=== 🎯 Goal ===
Score the '''most stars ⭐''' by efficiently operating attractions in your theme park.

Guests are dice: you move, modify, and exhaust them to run attractions and score points.
----

== 🔄 Round Overview ==
The game is played over '''4 rounds''' (or '''5 in the full game''').

Each round has '''6 phases''':

=== 1️⃣ Plan (simultaneous) ===

* Play '''2 staff cards'''.
* These determine:
** '''Turn order''' (lower dice total = earlier)
** '''Income''' (money icons)
** '''Staff abilities''' you can use this round

----

=== 2️⃣ Welcome (turn order) ===

* Choose a '''monorail'''.
* Take its '''3 guest dice''' and place them at your '''Park Entrance'''.
* Some staff can boost arriving dice.

----

=== 3️⃣ Expand (turn order, optional) ===
You may:

* '''Build 1 attraction''' (pay cost, place adjacent)
* '''Recruit 1 mascot''' (£5)
** Full game: also gain a '''skill card'''

Matching amenities across your park can give '''instant bonuses'''.
----

=== 4️⃣ Improve (simultaneous, optional) ===
You may:

* Buy '''1 map''' (£3)
* Install up to '''2 upgrades''':
** 💰 Merch kiosk → +£2 per operation
** ⭐ Special effect → +2⭐ per operation
** ⚙ Generator → operate attraction twice per round

----

=== 5️⃣ Operate (simultaneous – main phase) ===
Run your park in any order.

To '''operate an attraction''', always do these steps:

# '''Place an operate cube'''
# '''Assemble a party''' of dice that meet the attraction’s requirement
# '''Pip down''' all used dice (–1 each; dice at 1 are discarded)
# '''Move one used die''' to an adjacent attraction

Helpful tools:

* '''Maps''' move dice between attractions
* '''Mascots''' adjust die value or colour (or use skills)
* '''Generators''' allow extra operations

👉 You don’t score immediately — everything is counted later.
----

=== 6️⃣ Upkeep (simultaneous) ===

* Score '''stars and money''' from operated attractions
* Apply upgrade bonuses
* Check the '''round objective''' (mid/late game)
* Discard all '''value-1 dice'''
* Reset staff, maps, mascots, and refill monorails

----

== 🏁 End of Game ==

* Gain '''1⭐ per £3''' remaining
* Highest ⭐ wins

'''Ties:'''

1️⃣ Most guest dice remaining

2️⃣ Most money

3️⃣ Shared victory
----

=== 🧠 Key Things to Remember ===

* Dice '''wear out''' as you use them
* Moving dice is '''mandatory''' when operating
* Efficient chaining of attractions is the key to high scores
* Staff planning matters as much as park layout

Albatraous: /* Overview */ Changed the overview to summarise the rules, as the original just references "Racko" without describing what that game's overview is.

==Overview==

In ''Up or Down?'' players aim to be the first to arrange their cards in numerical order from lowest to highest.

You have three racks, and they can go in either ascending or descending order.

Each turn you will be playing a card from your hand into the display, then taking a card from either side of your placement, then draw from the main deck (either the face up card, or the deck itself face-down)

==Setup==

{| class="wikitable" style="width:auto;" border="2"
!| # of Players || Card Range (short game) || Card Range (long game)
|-
| '''2''' || 1-42 || 1-54
|-
| '''3''' || 1-60 || 1-78
|-
| '''4''' || 1-78 || 1-102
|-
| '''5-6''' || 1-96 || 1-126 (all cards)
|}

Each player gets a hand of three cards. The remaining are placed in two piles: one face up and one face down. Six cards are placed face up around the decks--this is called the ''display''.

==Gameplay==

On your turn, do the following actions in order:

<ol class="bulletlist" style="margin:1em 0;padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>Place a card from your hand into the display (the cards around the deck). The card must be placed in numerical sequence.</li>
<li>Take a card from the display adjacent to the card you just put down.</li>
<li>Place that card on one of your columns.</li>
<li>Draw a new card from either the face-up pile or the face-down pile and add it to your hand.</li>
</ol>

When you place a second card on a column, that determines whether the column will be ascending or descending. You want the first card of each column to be at one of the two extremes.

If you cannot or do not want to place a card in a column, you can discard an entire column and begin a new one. Each card in your discard pile will score you 1 point at the end of the game.

Turns continue until all players no longer have any cards in their hands (even after both the face-up and face-down piles are depleted).

==Scoring==

The score of each column is the '''number of cards of the most frequent color''' ''times'' '''the number of cards in the column'''. The score of each column added together plus the number of cards in your discard pile is your total score.
