About the Game

The Differences: No cards are ever taken into your hand. Your cards are kept on the table in front of you, side by side with the symbol side up. These cards are called your 'spread'.

Your Objective: Have the most "Bux" chips when the game ends.

The Big Idea: Buy or swap cards to add to your spread. From your spread, make matching 3-card sets to sell back to the Bank for chips.

Start with 3 face-up cards on the table and 200 chips.

On your turn, make any one of three moves: 1. draw 3 cards and auction them off to the highest bidder, OR 2. swap away an unprotected card from another player, OR 3. cash in matching 3-card sets for more chips.

You're out-bluffing and out-bidding others to get the cards you need and prevent them from getting cards they need. You're swapping away others' unprotected cards to build your value and ruin theirs.
