Basic rules
01
Playing cards
✔ The aim is to play a card of higher or equal value than the opponents (except for the 7, see card description).
✔ Multiple identical cards can always be played, regardless of whether they are special cards or number cards. A single card or multiple cards (e.g., a 7, an 8, etc.) can be played on multiple cards lying or played (e.g., three 6s).
02
Record cards
✔ The player who cannot play a higher or equal value (or the exception of the 7) must take the stack of cards that were played.
✔ A player who has to pick up the cards lying on the table may not play. The next player begins.
✔ Even if a player could play, he may voluntarily pick up the card that has been played (possible strategy with good cards that have been played).
03
Cards in hand
✔ If a player has four identical cards in their hand, they must immediately set them aside and reveal them to the other player(s). These cards are no longer available in the game (this also applies to special cards).
04
Colors
✔ Colors do not affect the game. A red 6 can be played on a blue 5. Colors are purely for the gameplay.
Game play
Preparation
Shuffle the cards. Each player receives: (see image, in mobile view below)
3 face-down cards in front of you (do not look)
3 open cards on it
3 cards in hand
The remaining cards form a draw pile.
You may now swap the three open cards with the three cards in your hand as you wish.
Tip: Exchange bad face-up cards for better hand cards.
Phase 1:
Play all cards from your hand and the draw pile
The first player discards one or more cards from their hand, forming a new discard pile. Then it's the next player's turn.
First, the game begins with the cards in hand and the draw pile. Players must always have at least three cards in their hand. Therefore, if a player plays two cards of the same kind, they must take two cards back from the draw pile in the same turn.
As soon as a player can no longer play, he must pick up the cards lying on the table. After that, he may not take any more cards from the draw pile as long as he still has more than three cards in his hand.
The game continues until the draw pile is empty (this happens automatically as more and more cards are eliminated from the game due to the special cards).
Phase 2:
The three open cards join the game
As soon as a player has discarded all of his hand cards and the draw pile is empty, he may play with the three face-up cards.
If a player now has to pick up the cards he has played because he can no longer play, he may still play from his face-up cards. However, the remaining face-up cards must still be visible to his opponent.
As soon as he has played these three face-up cards and the cards in his hand, phase three of the game begins for him.
Phase 3:
The three face-down cards are added to the game
Once a player has discarded all of their hand cards and played all three face-up cards, they may play the face-down cards. These are chosen randomly and cannot be viewed beforehand.
If the player plays a lower card (or higher in the case of the special card 7), he must pick up the cards lying there.
If this happens, the player must discard all cards in his hand before he can play another face-down card.
If a player plays the last face-down card and it remains in place according to the rules (the player has no more cards), the player wins.
Playing card descriptions
Playing cards 3 to 12 (except 7) are normal number cards.
A number card can always be placed on number cards of the same or lower value (except on the 7), etc. Depending on the situation, these number cards can also be played on special cards (e.g. RESTART, INVISIBLE, JOKER).
Playing card 7 is a special card.
The 7 card can be played on lower cards, on the 7, or, depending on the case, on special cards. Only cards of the same or lower rank (7, 6, 5, 4, 3) or special cards can be played on the 7 card. As soon as a lower card is played, the game continues as usual. For example, Player A plays a 7, Player B plays a 5, and Player A plays another 8.
The DELETE card is a special card. It can be played at any time.
Playing this special card deletes all previously played cards. These cards are no longer in play. The player who played DELETE may play.
The JOKER playing card is a special card.
When playing this card, you can determine its value. The JOKER can be any other card in the game. For example, it can serve as a DELETE or a playing card 7. It must be played according to the rules of the selected playing card.
The INVISIBLE card is a special card. It can be played at any time.
This card is invisible and can be placed on any other card. The next player then takes the card underneath it. This also applies if multiple INVISIBLE special cards are stacked on top of each other.
The RESTART card (start over) is a special card. It can be played at any time.
Playing this special card allows any card to be played again, or the game starts over. For example, if a 12 is played, RESTART is played, and then a 3 (or any other card) can be played again.
