The game literally takes 5 minutes to play. There are special rules for this instance, so have no worries. The difficulty comes from having to add or subtract from numbers that go over 10 or under 1. The first person to run out of cards wins. Each player draws from their pile and plays cards as fast as they can, no need to wait for the other players.
You continue to do this for each new card that stacks on top of the last card. See how it works? You can only play a card that is equal to adding or subtracting the small number from the big number. If there is a +/- 2 in the corner, then you would need to play a 6 or 10 on top of the 8. If the card is an 8, and there is a little +/- 1 in the corner, you need to play a 7 or 9 on top of the 8. The card face up on the table determines the next card that needs to be played. At a signal to start, the players start drawing cards from their decks, one by one. The remainders of the cards are dealt out to all the players, who each make their own draw piles. The cards all have numbers ranging from 1 -10, additionally in the corner of the card you’ll find either a plus/ minus 1, 2, or 3.Īll the cards are shuffled, and one is dealt face up on the table.
