Jellybeans is played with a standard deck of cards, minus the court cards. Each player is assigned a color (with two players) or a suit (with more; with three one suit is removed). Players receive hands of five cards and take turns drawing and then playing one card (or discarding and drawing three cards). Cards are placed in five "baskets" (rows of cards) - the cards represent packages of jellybeans. When each basket has four cards the game is over. Each basket scores for the owner of the suit with the most jellybeans (pips); the score is the total number of jellybeans plus the number of different flavors (suits).
