The root idea is simple: you’ve been dealt quite a handful, and your task is to empty your hand before your opponents do, matching the card atop the discard pile in face value or color. (Play one card per turn, and do what it says!) Will you be the first person to play your last card? Be alert, because every card has stipulations, and the strategy increases with each expansion set of the game. You’ll need your wits sharp and your attention undistracted, if you are to win. Good luck.
