Card Values

Number cards run from 1 to 13 (4 copies of each). Higher numbers beat lower ones. There are also 4 Bomb cards 💣.

Playing Cards

• You can play a single, double (pair), triple, or quad (4 of a kind).
• All cards in a play must be the same number.
• To beat the current play, you need the same count and an equal or higher value.
• You can also pass and sit out the rest of the round.

Bombs

• 1 bomb beats any single or double number play.
• 2 bombs beat any triple.
• 3 bombs beat any quad.
• Bombs can only be beaten by the same number of bombs (later play wins).

Winning a Round

A round ends when everyone else passes, or when a player plays their last card (instant round win). The round winner starts the next round.

Bomb Finish Penalty

You cannot go out with a bomb as your last play! If you do, you are automatically dropped to last place — regardless of when you finished. If multiple players bomb-finish, the most recent one takes last and earlier offenders move up.
