One rule I neglected to mention was that you don’t have to call “Hands Down!” if you don’t want to, so you can hold out if you think you’ll score a higher combo than with the cards you currently have. If you are good at paying attention, you can observe what people are discarding in an attempt to calculate how likely particular numbers and colors will come up and discard your own cards accordingly.
There isn’t much strategy involved, as the player who is lucky enough to draw the highest combos first will more than likely see victory at the end of the game. No matter which way I look at it, I’m replacing the luck of the dice with the luck of the cards. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins!
The starter card goes to the next player clockwise and the process repeats until all combo cards have been claimed. Those who were involved in scoring take five new cards, and those who didn’t keep their cards. Chance cards (bottom), can still net you some decent points…if you are lucky enough to draw good ones.
