Alani doesn’t want it either, so she puts a counter onto it
and play passes to Sherry.
Sherry says, “No Thanks!” and puts a counter
onto the card.
It’s now Eli’s turn again. Eli decides to take the card. He puts it
face-up in front of himself, adds the three counters on it to the
counters in his hand, and flips over the top card on the stack.
When you don’t have any counters left, you must take the card.
If you take cards with consecutive numbers, only the lowest number
in the series will count against you. A series can be made up of as
few as two cards. When you collect cards that form a series, place
them face-up so that they overlap, but so that players can still see the
numbers in the corners of the cards.
WINNING THE GAME
The game ends when the stack is gone and there are no cards left to
collect. Add up the points on all the cards you took (only count the
lowest card in a series), then subtract the number of counters you have.
The player with the lowest total wins.
In this example, you have
taken cards worth 3+7+
12+15+25, for a total of
62 points. Subtract your
8 counters, and your final
score is 54 points.
For example, if you take the 13, 15,
and 16, you will only count the 13
and the 15 when it’s time to score
(since the 15 is the lowest number
in the 15-16 series), for a total of 28 points. If you later collect the 14, you will only count the
13 (since it’s the lowest in the 13-14-15-16 series).
