Five steps to your first game
- Sort the tilesTurn every tile face up and sort them into groups. The tile guide on the back of your hands card shows what each one is.
- Read the rules card togetherTake turns reading it out loud, one step each. It takes about ten minutes.
- Hand out the hands cardsEveryone gets their own. You'll pick a hand to go for once you see your tiles.
- Play one round openFor your very first game, turn your racks around so everyone can see each other's tiles and help out.
- Play for realTurn your racks back and play. A full game takes about 30 minutes, and you'll want a rematch.
From our first players
Three things that help
Stay flexibleStart with the hand you have the most tiles for, and switch any time new tiles come in.
Any means anyWhen a hand says ANY numbers or ANY suits, the tiles pictured are just one way to build it.
Say it out loudName every tile you discard. The whole table learns the tiles faster.
