Objective of the Game

The objective is to finish the game with the fewest points by discarding cards or keeping low-value cards.

Game Setup

Each player is dealt 6 cards face down in front of them. At the start of the game, each player may look at the bottom 3 cards.

Turn

On your turn, draw 1 card and look at it. Then choose one:

  • Discard the drawn card: Place it face up on the discard pile.
  • Keep the drawn card: Place it face down in front of you, then discard one other card from your hand face up.

Players may not look at their cards again after the initial reveal.

Counter Discard

  • Whenever a card is discarded, any player may immediately discard identical cards from their own area.
  • If an incorrect card is revealed, it is returned face down and the player must draw 1 card as a penalty.
  • Counter discards are no longer allowed once the active player draws a new card.

Special Cards: 6 / 7 / 8 / 9

When discarding a card with value 6, 7, 8, or 9, its effect is resolved immediately:

  • 6 → Place the top card of the draw pile face down in front of another player.
  • 7 or 8 → Look at 1 card (your own or another player’s).
  • 9 → Swap 1 of your cards with 1 card from another player (both remain face down). You may not swap with the player who has the BLOOPS card.

End of the Game

The game ends in one of the following ways:

  1. The game ends immediately when the 20 card is discarded.
  2. At the end of their turn, a player may call "BLOOPS!". Each other player then takes exactly one final turn.
  3. The player who called "BLOOPS!" receives the BLOOPS card and is immune to the swap effect of cards with value 9.

Scoring

  • All players reveal their cards.
  • Star cards: If a player has 3 or more stars, all star cards are discarded and score 0 points.
  • All remaining cards score according to their face value.

The player with the lowest total score wins. Tied players share the victory.
