01
Draw, then decide your play
On your turn, pull from the Draw Deck or Discard Pile, then make your best move for hand control.
Smart turns are about pressure and timing, not just raw card value.
02
Use Power Cards to shift momentum
Power Cards create swing turns. Use them to force mistakes, break table rhythm, or protect your own line.
You cannot target yourself with a Power Card, and effects resolve immediately when played.
03
Call Count and score accurately
Call Count when you believe your hand is safely low. If your read is right, you lock in a strong round.
If the caller is beaten, the caller takes a 20-point penalty and lowest hand scores 0.
