Rules & Validation

Per-Hand/Round Logic

• Points per Round: Variable. Players sum the face value of all unique number cards collected in their hand during the round.
• Validation Rules:
  • Bust: If a player draws a number they already have in front of them, they "Bust" and score 0 points for that round.
  • Stay: A player may choose to "Stay" at any time to bank their current cards and end their turn for the round.
  • Round End: The round ends when all players have either Stayed or Busted, or if one player successfully collects 7 unique numbers (Flipping 7).
• Normalization: Total Score = (Sum of unique number cards) * (Multipliers) + (Flat Bonuses).

Special Actions / Bonuses

• Flip 7 Bonus: +15 points. Awarded to the player who successfully collects 7 unique numbers, which also ends the round immediately. The +15 is added flat — it is not multiplied by ×2.
• Number Cards: 0 through 12. Card 0 contributes 0 to the sum but still counts as a unique number toward Flip 7.
• Multiplier Card (×2): One ×2 card in the deck. Multiplies the number-card sum only (not the +15 bonus, not flat bonus cards).
• Bonus Cards (+2, +4, +6, +8, +10): One of each in the deck. Added flat to the round total after the ×2 is applied.
• Freeze: Forces a player to Stay immediately, banking their current points.
• Second Chance: Allows a player to discard a duplicate card (and the Second Chance card) once to avoid busting.
• Flip Three: Forces a player to immediately take the next three cards from the deck.

Win Conditions

• Condition: The first player to reach 200 points at the end of a complete round wins.
• Tie-Breaker: If multiple players exceed 200 points in the same round, the player with the highest total score wins.
