If you can’t play, you must pick up the entire play pile, NOT just one card from the draw pile. The player who made you pick up plays again. The turn does NOT pass to the next player.

  • If an 8 SKIP is played and the next player cannot play on the 8 and must pick up the pile, the player who played the 8 takes another turn.

No. Black number cards are some of the strongest cards in the game, but they still follow the normal play rules. No card is unbeatable..

  • None of them can be played on a 6 of a different colour
  • Neither 10 or 14 can be played on a 7UNDER as they're higher
  • The 10 cannot be played on any higher card (11/12/13) beside a 14 to close an attack

No, special cards still follow the main rule of the game that is you always have to play equal or higher than the card before.The only exceptions are 2s and 3s, which can be played on any card except a 6 of a different colour.

No. A 6 requires the next card to be the same color, so no other 6 can normally be played on it. The only exception is when playing with two decks, where a second 6 of the same color may be played on top.

Yes. Playing a 4 always forces a hand swap. There are no exceptions.

You must swap even:

  • If every other player has more cards than you
  • If you played multiple 4s at once
  • If the 4 burned or closed the pile
  • If it was your last card
As soon as a 4 is played, the swap happens.

In games with more than 2 players, the losing player is eliminated. Any cards still in front of them stay where they are. Remove only the 4 LOSER card from the pile. The player who made you lose plays again and may then play any card.

You must play all the cards in your hand first. While the draw pile still has cards, keep refilling your hand back to 3 cards.

Once the draw pile is empty and you have no cards left in hand, you may start playing your face-up cards, then your face-down cards.

If you later pick up the pile and get cards back into your hand, you must empty your hand again before returning to your face-up cards, even if you had already reached them before.

There are 2 ways to clear the pile:

  • Play a 10 to instantly close the pile
  • Play four of the same number in a row to burn the entire pile. (If you’re fast enough, you can play out of turn to complete four of a kind and instantly burn the pile.)

    Exemple:
    Players A, B, C, and D are playing. Player A plays an 11. Even though it is Player B’s turn, Player D may immediately play the three 11s from their hand to complete 4 of a kind and burn the pile.

    The same applies if:
    • Player A played two 11s and Player D has the other two
    • Player A played three 11s and Player D has the last one

      Whoever burns the pile with 4 of a kind plays again.

No. Face-down cards must always be played blind. You cannot look at the card before it is revealed. Everyone, including you, discovers the card at the same time.

A 3 mirror is a black number card so one of the best card in the game. It can be played on anything but a 6 of a different colour.

The 3 copies the number of the last card played, but NOT its action

  • If a 3 is played on a 7UNDER, it becomes a regular 7. It copies the number, but not the 7UNDER effect. The next player must therefore play a 7 or higher.

If players keep swapping hands over and over, it’s because the 4 was not discarded after being played. A 4 must always be discarded immediately once its effect is resolved, so it does not stay in the game.

No the winner and loser cards are only effective if they are under a face down card. During the game they're just regular 4.
