Each player gets a chance to play a card in turn; the first player to get rid of all of their cards wins. >> To play successfully, you'd either have to match the symbol or number of the card your opponent has played. If you don't have a card that matches your opponent's card's number or symbol, you have to go to the market by taking a card from the card pile. ** Power cards: >> #1 (Hold On) - If a player plays the ‘#1’ card (no matter what the symbol is), the other players have to hold on/wait a round, they can't play any card even if they have cards of the same symbol or number. >> #2 (Pick 2) - If a player attacks with the '#2' card, the next player must play another card with the same #2 or take two cards from the card pile, this process will carry over until a player does not have a #2 card and is penalized by the sum of all the #2 cards played. >> #5 (Pick 3) - In this fun card game, if a player attacks with the '#5' card, the next player must play another #5 card to block the attack or draw 3 cards from the card pile. >>#8 (Suspension) - If a player plays a card with the number '#8' on it, the next player will miss the round. If the #8 card has the star symbol on it, the next two players will miss the round. >> #14 (General Market) - If you play a '#14' card, the other players must each draw one card from the card pile. >> Whot King - If you have a "Whot King" card, you can throw it any time, and gain the power to change the symbol of the card and turn the course of the game or even win the game if it is your last card.
