HOW TO PLAY BAGARRE ?

OBJECTIVE

Be the first to get rid of all your cards.

HOW TO SET UP

Each player gets:

  • 3 face-down cards (secret)
  • 6 cards in hand

From your 6 cards:

  • Place 3 of your best cards face-up on top of your face-down cards.
  • Keep 3 in your hand

SPECIAL CARDS

ON YOUR TURN

  • Always play a card equal to or higher than the previous one. ( All special cards must still follow this rule, except 2s and 3s, which can be played on anything except a 6 of the opposite color.)

  • Play one or multiple cards of the same number.

  • If you can play, you must.

  • If you can’t, pick up the entire play pile. The player who made you pick up plays again.

  • While the draw pile still has cards, draw from it to always have at least 3 cards in hand.

  • Play the cards in your hand first. Once your hand is empty and the draw pile is gone, play your face-up cards, then your face-down cards BLINDLY!

EXTRA TWISTS

BURN THE PILE

  • If four cards of the same number are played, the pile is immediately burned.

  • If you’re fast enough, you can play out of turn to complete four of a kind and instantly burn the pile.

The player who burned the pile gets another turn.

WINNER / LOSER CARDS

If you reveal a face-down card and it is:

  • A yellow 4 Marked “Winner”  You instantly win the game.
  • A red 4 Marked “Loser” You instantly lose the game.

NO CARD IS INVINCIBLE

Absolutely no card is unbeatable. Black numbered cards are considered the strongest, but none of them are invincible.

No black numbered card can be played on a 6 of a different colour.

A 10 and 14, cannot be played on a 7 UNDER as they are both higher.

A 10 cannot be played on a higher card, except for the 14.

MOST COMMON MISTAKES

  • Playing invalid cards

    Playing cards that are not allowed on the current card, examples:

    • Playing any different colour on a 6.
    • Playing a 10 on a 11,12,13
    • Playing a 14 or a 10 on a 7
    • Playing a 6 on a 6
    • Playing a 4 on top of a higher card

  • Looking at your card instead of playing blindly

    When you must play a blind card, you cannot look at it first. Everyone gets to see the card you revealed at the same time.

  • Playing when it isn’t your turn

    After a player picks up the pile, the player who made them pick up plays again, not the next player.

  • Picking up from the wrong place

    If you cannot play, you must pick up the entire play pile, not the draw pile.

  • Forgetting to pick up

    You must always have 3 cards in hand. If you can't play you must pick up the entire middle pile.

  • Misunderstanding the 3 (Mirror card)

    A3 is a mirror and does not copy the action.
    Example: If a 3 is played on a 7, the next player must play 7 or higher.

  • Thinking you won with a 4 in hand

    You do not win if you have a 4 winner in your hand. A 4 only wins when it is revealed from under a face-down card.

  • Forgetting to discard a 4

    If you do not discard the 4, it stays active in the game and players will keep exchanging hands.
