POWER CARD: 0

Set up: Everyone gets 3 cards. Keep 3 cards in your hand at all times. You must remember to draw a card after you play one (before the next person goes) or you’ll have fewer cards for the rest of the game.

How to Play: Everyone starts with 3 cards. When it is your turn, play a card on the pile and say the total points in the pile. Then, draw a card so that you always have 3 cards in your hand. Your turn is over and the next person can go. If you forgot to draw a card before the next person went, you can’t ever replace that card—you’ll have to play with fewer cards for the rest of the game. Most cards are worth their face value, but there are several POWER CARDS too. Tip: Everyone must keep scrap paper with a running total. It solves disputes and helps everyone think clearly.
