Black Hole is played with a standard deck of cards. Put the Ace of spades in the middle of the board as the base or "black hole". Deal all the other cards face up in seventeen fans of three (you can see all the cards). Then you can play any cards from the tops of the fans. You put them on the base, following one simple rule: you can put on a card only neighboring cards (of any suit), i.e. for example only 6 and 8 on a 7. The goal is to collect as many cards in the middle, as possible.
