Dealing

First Round: Deal all cards to Players

Note: Card quantity differences of 1 are okay, depending on the number of players (i.e. some players might have one more than others)

Other Rounds: Winner of the last round (the P) deals ANYWAY they want


Starting Play

First Round: Start with the player to the left of the dealer

Other Rounds: Start with the winner of the last round (the P)


General Play

Must play a higher value than the previously laid card (or cards if doubles/triples were played). See image above.

If not possible, player passes and cannot lay any cards.

Example: Once 2 Fives are played, players can ONLY play doubles of a high face value (6+), triples of any value, or a 2 to clear. Otherwise, player passes.

Play until one player remains (the A).

Winning

After each round, the P makes a rule. Rules can compound or expire after every round, you decide! Rules can be a truth, dare, action, etc, ANYTHING YOU WANT!
