Materials
The game requires a standard
54 card playing deck (with Jokers) and
a set of polyhedral game dice. This
should include a 4-sided die (d4), a
6-sided die (d6), an 8-sided die (d8), a
10-sided die (d10), a 10-sided die
counting by 10’s (d100), 12-sided die
(d12), and a 20-sided die (d20). These
are easy to find in hobby shops and
online retailers.
Dice note: on the d10, a “0” should be
read as 10 and not zero.
Player Setup
Separate the Jacks, Queens,
Kings, and Aces from the rest of the
game deck. The Jokers should be
added to the game deck. Each player
is assigned a single value of face card:
Jack, Queen, King, or Ace. Each
player will have all four suits of their
face card. These are the attribute
cards.
Players will place a single die
from their set of d8, d10, d12, and d20
upon each card. The d6 is used as a
bump counter. The d4 is a move roll to
identify how many spaces a player can
d100 is a player token to indicate the
player’s location or choice. Not all dice
are used in all play types.
The bump counter is placed to
the side of the players’ cards with the
value of 6 up and showing. “Bumps”
are the analog for health or hit points.
Players start with a value of six and
bump down to 0. When a player
reaches a bump count of zero, they
“bump-out” and stop playing the game.
Play Mechanics
Players will roll their d6 at the
same time to see who will go first.
Highest value wins. The rest of the
players will take turns in a clockwise
order around the play area for the rest
of the game.
Players can rearrange the dice
on the attribute cards up until their turn
begins. Once a card is flipped, or a die
assigned to the current attributes.
When a game card is flipped
and a Joker is discovered, a goal of the
game has been met. Depending on the
play type, the end goals have different
meanings and ends to the game.
When a game card is flipped
and is not a Joker, the suit of the game
card represents the suit of the attribute
die to be rolled. The card value
(number on the game card) represents
the value the die roll must meet or
exceed to not take a bump.
If the number on the rolled
attribute die meets or exceeds the
value of the game card, the attempt is
successful, the player will not take a
bump, and the next player will begin
their turn.
If the number on the rolled
attribute die does not meet or exceed
the value of the flipped game card, the
unsuccessful player will decrease the
value on the bump counter by 1, and
the next player will begin their turn.
Should a player’s attribute roll
achieve the highest value for that
particular die (ex: rolling an 8 on a d8,
or a 20 on a d20) then the player’s
bump count increases by one.
