ENDING THE GAME When no more cards can be played, the game is over - time to score and determine the winner.

SCORING Each card has two numbers: top left and top right with its letter. 1. Add up the total of all the numbers shown on your cards. 2. Deduct the total points of any unplayed cards in your hand. The winner will have the highest score. In case of a tie, the youngest player wins.

STRATEGY Try to drop the cards with the highest letter values early. Keeping these in your hand at the end of the game will count against your score.
