(Play online or against the CPU)

A game about stopping your score from counting down to 0, by minimising the value of your cards.

THE GAME

You and your opponent are dealt 6 face-down cards at the start of the game. On your go, you can either

- Turn a card over

- Pick up from the draw pile

- Pick up from the discard pile

When you pick up from a pile, you can discard that card or swap that card with one of your 6 cards.

The round ends when a player has all their cards face up, at which point the scores are calculated and subtracted from your health.

SCORING

IMPORTANT: Any 2 of the same number card in a column equal 0 (unless they're 2s and then it equals -4).
