Players work together to play cards into one of 4 piles. Two piles are ascending in order, the other two piles are descending in order. On a players turn they play one or two cards. While you can talk about the game you cannot say specific information of what cards payers have. The trick to the game is working together to go through the draw pile and empty their hands.
Starting the game players must play 2 cards on their turn into one of the four card piles. Players can play more if you like but you must place 2 cards. Players can change piles if they wish. When a player has completed their turn they draw the amount of cards until you have a specified number of cards.
Two piles are in ascending order, two piles are descending order. Players can play cards going against this if they are exactly 10 less or higher than the card played. Example if the card on top of the ascending order was 53 a player could play the card 43 to drop them back
Once the draw deck is out of cards players have the option of playing 1 or more cards. Players play until someone can’t play anymore. Count up the number of cards in each pile and this is the score for the game.

This is another challenging, tricky and fun. It takes a lot of finesse with your other players to play the cards and not screw over your other players hands. The game gets progressively harder the further down the ascending and descending piles you get.
This is definitely a fun game in our collection and it is simple enough for a variety of folks to play from seasoned gamers to beginner gamers.
