	''Up or Down?'' ~~is similar~~ to ~~''Racko'', though you now~~ have three racks, and they can go in either ascending or descending order. ~~The way cards are drawn and discarded is also different.~~		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)

==Overview==

''Up or Down?'' is similar to ''Racko'', though you now have three racks, and they can go in either ascending or descending order. The way cards are drawn and discarded is also different.

==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

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==

Each player takes turns doing the following:

<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. So your first card of each column should 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 discarded column scores 1 point.

Turns continue until both 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 columns in your discard pile is your total score.
