Aim of the Game
To win the game all you have to do is collect TEN WHEELS or DOORS cards.
Before you play, shuffle the wheels and doors together, and place them in a face down pile in the middle of the table.
Setup
Pick Your Team
The game can be played as individuals, but we think playing as a pair or team is more fun. So, split into UP TO four teams, and give every team a set of chips, and three random face down WHEELS or DOORS cards from the stack.
The Dealer
Each round there is a dealer. As your team got lumbered with reading the rules, the first dealers are YOU GUYS.
Grab the white 'dealer' chip and place it in front of your team.
Each round the chip moves clockwise to the next team, who become the dealers for that round.
The dealing team always bets LAST, and they are in charge of dishing out wins and losses, handling chips and hosting the VS questions for their round. Basically, they're in charge.
Selecting a VS
Shuffle the yellow VS cards, and turn any two over at random. You now have a VERSUS situation - in this example it's 2 VS 4.
Grab the top card from the question pile and read out the two categories shown at those numbers on the BLACK side of the card. In this instance it's... MOVIES FEATURING THE ROCK VS CASINOS ON THE VEGAS STRIP.
Going in a clockwise direction from the dealers, teams now place their bets one at a time.
Betting
Each team must place their chosen number of chips onto one of the two VS cards, depending on which they think there are MORE of in the world.
Once all bets have been placed, the dealer turns over the card to reveal the white side, and reads out the results of each of the VS categories.
For example, there are more CASINOS ON THE VEGAS STRIP than MOVIES FEATURING THE ROCK.
Scoring
Teams that guessed correctly WIN as many WHEELS or DOORS cards as the number of chips they bet.
Teams that guessed incorrectly LOSE as many WHEELS or DOORS cards as they bet.
It's up to losing teams to decide WHICH CARDS they hand back, but any cards WON are dealt face down at random from the main stack.
If a team end up with ZERO wheels or doors cards, they can still bet THREE CHIPS in the next round to try and get back in the game without incurring any further losses. We're nice like that.
Example (from the sheet's illustration): the teams that backed Dwayne's movies lose the same number of wheels and doors cards as the number of chips they bet. The team that went for casinos win the same number of wheels and doors cards as the number of chips they bet.
Rounds
In each round there is a maximum number of chips that can be bet. A round ends when the DEALER chip has completed one full circuit of the teams.
| Round | Maximum chips per VS |
|---|---|
| Round 1 | 3 chips per VS |
| Round 2 | 4 chips per VS |
| Round 3+ | 5 chips per VS |
Winning the Game
If two teams both get TEN WHEELS cards or TEN DOORS cards at exactly the same time, the winning team will be the one with the most cards overall. If this is also a draw, then play on until one team gets to twelve WHEELS or DOORS cards.
