Goal

Get rid of all your cards first, while avoiding being the one holding the marker when the game ends.

Scoring

Numbered cards are worth face value, face cards are worth 10, aces are worth 15. The player holding the marker when the game ends receives 25 points. Low score wins.

Game Play

Cards are played into stacks by suit. Eights must be played first, followed by the 7 and 9 of matching suit. Once the 7 and 9 have been played, cards are played in suit increasing from the 9 and decreasing from the 7. Aces are low.

If you can not play on your turn, you must take the marker. You can not take the marker if you are able to play.
