Gameplay
Use a standard 52-card deck to outmaneuver your opponent and be the first to reach 21 points. Every card has multiple uses—play them as points, devastating one-off effects, or powerful permanents that change the game. Choose wisely!
Point cards
Number cards 2–10 can be played for their point value. Aces are worth 1 point. Build your score while defending against your opponent's attacks.
One-off effects
Unleash powerful one-time effects:
- Ace: Destroy all point cards on the table
- Two: Destroy a permanent or counter an opponent's one-off
- Three: Retrieve any card from the scrap pile
- Four: Force opponent to discard 2 cards
- Five: Draw 2 cards
- Six: Destroy all permanents
- Seven: Draw a card and play it immediately however you wish
- Nine: Return a permanent to its owner's hand
Permanent effects

- Eight (Glasses): Opponent plays with hand revealed
- Jack: Steal an opponent's point card
- Queen: Protect your cards from single-target effects
- King: Lower the points needed to win
Scuttle

Strategy tips
Queens protect against targeted attacks but not area effects like Ace or Six. Time your one-offs carefully—your opponent may counter with a Two! Kings are powerful but risky: they help you win faster but also help your opponent. The scrap pile becomes valuable with Threes in play.
