RULES:
Set-up
Beginning with the player to the left of the dealer and moving in a clockwise direction, each
player selects a card of their choice from their hand and places it face up on a discard pile
(players should start their own discard pile in front of them visible to all other players) and then
places one of their marker chips on the matching card on the game board. Each card is pictured
twice on the game board. Jacks do not appear on the game board. A player can play on either one
of the card spaces as long as it is not already covered by another marker chip. Once a marker
chip has been played, it cannot be removed by an opponent except when using a one-eyed Jack
as explained below.
The Jacks
There are 8 Jacks in the card deck. The 4 Jacks with TWO EYES are wild. To play a two-eyed
Jack, place it on your discard pile and place one of your marker chips on any open space on the
game board. The 4 jacks with ONE EYE are anti-wild. To play a one-eyed Jack, place it on your
discard pile and remove one marker chip from the game board belonging to your opponent. That
completes your turn. You cannot place one of your marker chips on that same space during this
turn. You cannot remove a marker chip that is already part of a completed SEQUENCE. Once a
SEQUENCE is achieved by a player or a team, it cannot be broken. You may play either one of
the Jacks whenever they work best for your strategy, during your turn.
Dead Card
If you hold a card in your hand which does not have an open space on the game board because
both spaces representing that card are covered by a marker chip, you are holding a DEAD CARD
and you may turn it in for a new card. When it is your turn, place the dead card on your discard
pile, announce that you are turning in a Dead Card and take a replacement card (one card per
turn). You then proceed to play your normal turn.
Loss of Card
Once you have taken your turn and placed your marker chip on the game board, you must take a
card from the draw deck. If you fail to take a card before the next player makes a move AND
takes his/her card, you lose the right to take a card and you must finish the game with less cards
than the other players – a disadvantage.
