About the Game

Race to the Bottom is a deck-shedding game for 2-4 players where each player has their own standard set of cards complete with two Jokers.

The aim of the game is to be the first player to shed through their entire deck by playing various melds to the table.

In Race to the Bottom, players who pass also have the option to "pitch" cards from their hand to the bottom of their own decks enabling a light form of deck building, by sending undesirable cards to the back of the deck to be retrieved later.

Furthermore, Aces are both high and low for the purpose of building melds and any meld with an Ace in it can be beaten by any other meld of the same type, so use it carefully.
