HOW TO PLAY BAGARRE ?
OBJECTIVE
HOW TO SET UP ?
SPECIAL CARDS
Resets the pile back to “0.” You can play a 2 on any card, except on a 6 of a different colour. After a 2 is played, the pile is reset, so the next player can play any card.
3 Copies the last card played, but not its special action. (Ex: If it's played on a 7UNDER, it becomes a regular 7. The next player has to play a 7 or higher. ) 3 can also counter an Attack.
A 4 requires you to swap your entire hand with another player of your choice. After swapping, it is important that you discard the 4 only. The next player may then play any card.
The next player must play a higher card of the same colour. A same-colour 2 or 3 may also be played on it, but another 6 cannot be played on a 6, except to close the pile.
This is the only time in the game where the next card played must be equal to or lower than 7.
An 8 skips the next player. If there are more than 2 players, multiple 8s can be played together to skip multiple players. Each 8 played skips one player.
Playing a 10 burns the pile. All cards in the pile are discarded, and the same player plays again. A 10 can also be used to close an Attack.
When you play a 14, choose any player to attack. They can ONLY respond with black-number special cards. 3 and 14 Attack back, 10 burn the pile and 2 reset.
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 any card except a 6 of a different colour.)
- 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, without looking at them, play your face-down cards. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you flip the card away from you and discover it at the exact same time as everyone else!
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.
