Everybody who went down that round moves on to the next phase, while anyone who did not go down stays on the same phase. This may be done with a discard or by playing all of your cards on other players. Going Out: Once you go down you can at any time 'go out' by getting rid of all the cards in your hand. On 8 cards of one color you may have all 10 of one color.

Remember: The phases are the minimal requirements to go down.

Once you are 'down' you can play your remaining cards onto yours or other player's 'down cards'. Once you have all the cards necessary to complete a phase (for instance on Phase 1 your hand might have 6,6,6 and 7,8,9), you may if it is your turn set them down. Jokers count as wilds and can be any suit, color, or number. Either way at the end of your turn you throw any card you would like to the discard pile, but keep in mind the next player may take it. On your turn you can either draw one card from the top of the deck or take the card on the top of the discard pile. Ace is always low, and in this game, runs can be of mixed suits.]Įverybody starts out on the first phase.

A 'run' is a set of cards of consecutive ranks.

A 'set' is a collection of cards of the same rank suits are irrelevant.
