The goal

Build sets of matching cards. When the game ends, the player with the most points in sets wins.

Making and growing sets

Each player holds four cards, and six cards start face up on the table. On your turn, do exactly one thing:

• Make a set. Play a card onto matching cards on the table. You take every card of that rank into a new set of your own.
• Grow a set. Play a card onto a set of the same rank, and the set gets one card bigger.
• Put a card down. Play a card face up onto the table for anyone to use.
• Take a table card. Move one of your own sets onto a matching card on the table, and the card joins it. No card leaves your hand.

After your turn, draw back up to four cards. If you made a set, the table fills back up to six.

• Pair1 pt
• Triple4 pts
• Four8 pts
• Five13 pts

A set of four is locked: only a joker can take it to five. A set of five is final.

Stealing

You can grow your opponent’s sets too. Grow one and it becomes yours, points and all.

Jokers

There are two jokers, and they’re wild.

• Played from your hand, a joker can be any rank you choose.
• On the table, a joker matches every rank, so it joins any set you make there.
• Once a joker is in a set, it stays that set’s rank for good.

How the game ends

When the draw pile runs out, nobody draws anymore. Keep playing until your hand is empty. Once both hands are empty, the game is over. Most points wins, and equal points is a tie.
