- Set up: Deal one face-up card to each player. The player to the dealer's left goes first.
- Your turn: Choose to "hit" or "stay".
- Hit: The dealer flips another card for you.
- If it's a number card, add it to your row.
- If it's a duplicate number card, you "bust" and score nothing for the round.
- If it's a special card, resolve its action immediately.
- Stay: You decide to stop hitting for the round. Lay your cards face down to bank your score.
- Hit: The dealer flips another card for you.
- Flip 7 bonus: If you get your seventh unique number card, you immediately "stay," score the points, and get a 15-point bonus, ending the round for everyone.
- End of round: A round ends when every player has either stayed or busted.
- Scoring:
- Busted: 0 points for the round.
- Stayed or Flip 7: Add the face values of all your unique number cards. Add any points from modifier cards (like x2) that you have. Do not add the points from duplicate number cards if you have any.
- Winning the game: The first player to reach at least 200 points at the end of a round wins. If there's a tie, continue playing rounds until there is one winner.
Special cards
- Second Chance: Protects a player from busting on their next duplicate draw.
- Flip Three: Force another player to flip three more cards.
- Freeze: Forces another player to immediately end their round and bank their current points, as if they had chosen to stay.
- Modifier Cards (e.g., x2): These affect the final score at the end of the round, provided you do not bust.
