The basics
Finish with as few points as possible: every card taken costs its value, every chip kept takes one point off. On your turn, take the face-up card with the chips on it, then turn over the next one and play again, or pay a chip to refuse it; with no chips, you must take it. When the last card is taken, scores are counted, a run only counting its lowest card, and the lowest total wins.
The rules, step by step
Setup
Cards from 3 to 35, 9 cards removed, Hidden chips
- The cards run from 3 to 35. Remove 9 at random, face down, without looking at them.
- Each player receives 11 chips with three to five players, 9 with six players, 7 with seven players, and keeps them hidden.
- Turn over the first card of the draw pile.
How to play
Take the card, Or pay 1 chip, No chips: take it
- On your turn, choose: take the face-up card, or pay a chip by placing it on the card to refuse it.
- The player who takes the card also collects all the chips on it, turns over the next card and plays again.
- A player with no chips must take the card.
- Cards taken stay face up in front of you.
Scoring
Card values, Run: lowest card, −1 per chip
- Add up the value of your cards.
- A run of consecutive cards (27, 28, 29) only counts its lowest card.
- Subtract 1 point per chip remaining.
End of the game
Last card taken, Lowest total
- The round ends when the last card of the draw pile has been taken.
- The lowest total wins. You can play several rounds in a row and add them up.

Frequently asked questions
Why remove 9 cards?
So that you never know whether a run can be completed: the missing card may be out of the game.
Can you refuse a card without a chip?
No. Without a chip, you must take it, whatever it is.
