HOW TO PLAY
1

Deal five cards to each player and place the rest of the deck face down, turning the top card face up to start the discard pile.

2

On their turn, a player must play a card matching either the suit or the rank of the top discard, or draw a card if unable to play.

3

Certain cards trigger special effects agreed on before play, such as forcing the next player to draw extra cards, skipping a turn, or reversing turn order.

4

Play continues around the table, with players racing to empty their hand.

5

The first player to play their last card, after correctly announcing they have one card left, wins the round.
