How to play

Setup: Lay out the three spaces for the hundreds, tens, and ones digits on the table. Shuffle the "Beast" cards into the main deck, with the number of beasts determining the difficulty. Deal each player five cards.

Gameplay: On your turn, choose one suit and play all the cards of that suit from your hand to the table. You can play the cards in any order you choose, but the number formed by the digits must be higher than the previous number. For example, if the number is 275, you could play an 8 to make 278, 285, or 875. Communication is limited. You can say things like "I can help," but you cannot show your cards or reveal their suits or numbers.

Beasts: When a "Beast" card is played, it is placed above the corresponding digit column (e.g., a club Beast above the tens column). The Beast blocks that suit from being played in the column directly beneath it. If you play a card of the same suit that the Beast represents, you can "startle" the Beast by moving it one column to the left. If the Beast is startled into a column that already has a Beast, it is startled again, and so on. If a Beast is startled all the way to the left and another card of its suit is played, it is removed from play.

Tokens: You can use one of your three discard tokens at any time during your turn to discard a non-Beast card from your hand.

Winning and Losing: You win if the team plays all the cards from the deck. You lose if you cannot play a card and a player still has cards in their hand.
