♟️ How to play
Setup
- Each player starts with 4 cards.
- The remaining deck stays in the center for drawing during the game.
How to Hold Your Cards
All players hold their cards facing outward, so you only see the backs—but since everyone does this, you can actually see everyone else’s cards!
Two Ways to Draw from the Deck (Important!)
1. Blink Draw: Swap one of your cards without seeing what you’re drawing.
2. Reveal Draw: Look at the drawn card, then swap it with any player’s card—without letting them see what they’re receiving.
Action Cards
If an Action Card is drawn, the player can choose to execute its power or treat it as a Number Card for swapping.
- Lock Card: Turn an intended card toward the player to lock it (preventing it from being swapped).
- Unlock Card: Turn a locked card outward to unlock it.
- Swap Hands: Exchange all of your cards with another player.
- Circulate: All players pass their entire hand to another player—either clockwise or counterclockwise.
Ending the Game
Any player may call the end of the game on their turn.
