 TEN PARTNERS DIRECTIONS

NEED: 2+ players, 1 deck of cards

Ace=1 Jack, Queen, King=10
OBJECTIVE: Make partners of ten – be the first player with no
cards left.
DIRECTIONS:
• Deal 7 cards per player
• Remainder of cards are spread out in the middle
• Before play begins each player removes any Ten Partners
form their hand. (If they have a 6 and a 4 they can lay it
down in their pile). To make a Ten Partner the player must
also say the rhyme that goes with the partner. (6 and 4 shut
the door, 6 and 4 are Ten Partners.) Any face cards can also
be laid down at this time (10+0=10).
• Player 1 looks at the remaining cards in his/her hand and
decides which card they want to ask for the Partner of. (EX:
If you have a 7 in your hand you would ask the other player
for a 3 to make 7+3=10). If the other player has that card
they hand it over. If not Player 1 would have to draw one card
to see if they can make a Ten Partner.
• When a player lays down a Ten Partner they must say the
rhyme that goes with the Ten Partner they laid down.
• Continue procedure with all players.
• First player with no cards left wins!
• (This basically is Go Fish! with Ten Partners)
