Placement Rules
Manage up to 3 columns (max 5 cards each). You can only place cards to form these 5-card combinations:

- 5 identical numbers: 2 points
- 5 same color: 2 points
- 5 different numbers of the same color: 3 points (Instant Win)
If no legal spot exists, discard an entire column to make room.
Your Turn
Draw two cards to start and then you can start drawing cards one by one; stopping whenever you want.
- Stop: Keep and place all drawn cards.
- Bust (Duplicate Number Drawn): Lose all cards drawn this turn; choose an opponent to receive the cards. Note that this may be triggered immediately if the first two cards you draw are of the same number.

- Number Bomb: Draw 1 card. All players discard matching numbers.
- Color Bomb: Draw 1 card. All players discard matching colors.
- Steal: Take the top card of an opponent’s column.

Note: If a special card makes you draw another special card, discard that new special card without applying its effect.
