Up or Down Card Game for Kids and Adults - Strategic Number and Color Card Game for 2-6 Players, Age 8+ - Family Game Night Essential

• Take a card next to your playing card: take one card from the display. The chosen card is one of the two cards next to the card you placed in step 1 ✦ After playing the 5, Eli decides whether to take the 7 or the 106. After choosing the 7, they place the 7 in their leeway in step 3.
• What about wrong number strings? If you or someone else notices a card that has just been played incorrectly, fix it immediately. If the error is detected later in the game, place the entire column with the misplayed card in that player's discard pile.
• End of the game and scoring: After both draw piles are empty, continue playing until all cards are used in hand. Six cards remain on the public display. Then score your columns and discard the pile. For each column, find the most common color and multiply that number by the total number of cards in the column. Add all three column scores. Then add 1 point per card to your discard pile. Highest total wins. In the event of a tie, tied players share the victory.
• C- Creating ascending or descending columns: since the second card placed in a column determines whether it will be ascending or descending and this order cannot be changed later. Once a card has been added to your playing area, it cannot be moved or rearranged. Cards should be placed according to the order of the column. For ascending columns, shift each new card to cover the top number of the previous card, displaying all the bottom numbers. For descending columns, cover the bottom number and reveal only the top numbers. Organize cards clearly to order the column The new card should always be fully visible after you place it.
• D- Specify a column to the stack: If you can't or don't want to place a card in one of your current columns, choose an entire column that you want to rotate the image down and place it in your discard stack. These discarded cards each score one point at the end of the game. Then start a new column in your playing area with the card taken.
• Play a card in the display: Place a card of your hand up in the display. Place it where it belongs in numerical order, which will always be clockwise. →EXAMPLE: Erin places the 14 from their hand between 7 and 33. If you play a card that is lower than the lowest card or higher than the highest card, place it between the highest and lowest card. →EXAMPLE: Eli put the 5 out of their hand between 106 and 7 because it was less than the 7.
• PLAY THE GAME: Turn clockwise in turn. Your turn consists of the following: 1- Play a card in the display. 2- Take a card next to your playing card. 3- Play the card taken in your play area. 4- Draw a card
• 4- Draw a card and end your turn: Once you have placed a card in a column of your playing area, pull down the top card from the front or the deck face up in the middle of the screen and add it to your hand. If one of the posts is empty, you will need to remove your card from the remaining draw pile. Your turn is complete. The player to your left now takes his turn.
• B- Expanding your playing area: When you add another card to your playing area in the future, you can choose to add it to an existing column or start a new one. You can only have 3 columns of cards. Each column can contain any number of cards. However, all cards in the column must be placed in ascending order, or all cards in the column must be placed in descending order. Once a second card is placed in a column, it determines whether it is ascending or descending.
• Play the Taken Card in your playing area: A- Your first card: Place the card taken in your play area. Your playing area consists of zero to three columns and possibly a discard pile. The first card you take off the screen will start the first column of your playing area✦ After playing the 5, Eli took the 7 and started the first column in their playing area.

DRAFTING THE GAME



1- Depending on the number of players, only a certain number of cards is needed to play. We recommend starting with a shorter game Up or Down. Use the number cards needed for the number of players and the desired length of the game; put the rest back into the box.



2- Then shuffle all cards for the number of players.



3- Deal a hand of 3 cards face down to each player. Look at the cards in your hand.



4- Then place a circle of 6 open cards in the center of the playing area. Sort them by ascending value, in order clockwise. These 6 cards form the display.



5- Divide the remaining cards into two piles of approximately the same size.



6- In the middle of the screen, place a pile face down and the other face up. Both are drawposts.



7- Choose a starting player.
