Playing the Game
-
The Dealer deals 5 cards to each player.
-
Each player examines his/her hand and decides whether to discard any cards.
- The player to the Dealer's left discards first.
- Players may discard up to 3 cards.
- The Dealer replaces the cards that each player discarded, starting with the player on his/her left.
-
After all players have had a chance to discard, and new cards are dealt, each player lays down his/her best headline. The goal is to get the highest points AND to construct a reasonable headline. Headlines may be funny and unbelievable, but they must be structurally sound.
- Acceptable: Model Weds Stud Yeti
- Unacceptable: Creepy Fires Chef
If the majority of the players decide that a headline does not make sense, the player who laid the headline down must pick it up and submit a new headline.
-
If a player cannot make a headline, his/her score will be zero for that hand.
-
Exclusive Cards double the value of any hand. Only one Exclusive Card may be played per hand.
-
The Dealer records each person's score.
-
After each hand, the player to the left of the Dealer becomes the new Dealer, taking all of the cards from the last hand and shuffling them back into the deck before dealing a new hand to each player.
Winning the Game
The first player to reach 500 points is the winner! If more than one player earns 500 points when the hand's points are totaled, the highest score wins.
