Overview
Take turns placing skeletons on the couch until one player has covered the couch with their skeletons. That player is the winner.
Setup
Place the five gray couch seats in a row in the center of the play area to form the couch.
Separately shuffle both the purple and pink decks of skeletons and place one face down in front of each player.
Each player places the top card of their deck face up onto opposite ends of the couch. If the numbers are the same, repeat this step until they are different.
The player that revealed the highest numbered card goes first.
On Your Turn
- Draw from your deck until you have 3 cards in your hand.
- Place up to 3 skeletons on the couch from your hand according to the rules.
- Discard a card to end your turn. If you have no cards left, end your turn without discarding.
Placing Skeletons
Skeletons can be placed on a couch seat based on ONE of the following two rules:
- The skeleton can be placed ON TOP OF another skeleton if it has a number one higher than that skeleton. E.g, a 4 can be placed on top of a 3.
- OR, The skeleton can be placed BESIDE another skeleton (in a seat directly to the left or right of it) if it has a number one higher or one lower than that skeleton. E.g, a 5 can be placed beside a 6 or beside a 4.
Notes
Skeletons can be placed on any couch seat, regardless of color.
When placing a skeleton BESIDE another skeleton, the number below it is irrelevant.
Each player maintains a separate discard pile.
If a player runs out of cards, their discard pile becomes their deck and they keep playing.
Each game can go quickly, so consider playing a "Best of 5" or "Best of 7".
