Preparations

3. Make a deck with remaining cards.
4. Gather all lucky tokens in one place.
5. Shuffle 15 round cards and select random 5 cards to build round deck. Only 5 chosen cards will be used in this game.

There has ONLY 2 options! Play or Draw!
On your turn, there has 2 options.
Play the cards to earn points or Draw the cards to fill your hands. After that, your turn is over.

Action #1. Play the card(s). (Color match or Number match)
Play the card(s) of your hand on the board.
To do so, you must match color or number with current base card.
Every time you play a card, current base card will be replaced to the last card you play.
(In other words, base card will be changed every time you play a card.)
You can play card again and again if color or number is same with replaced base card. Regardless of sign, number is matter. (‘-4’ and ‘4’ are ‘number matched’ in this game.)
You cannot play cards on multiple area. You can only play ONE sequence of cards.

Point!
Current base card changes every time someone plays a card to last played card. You can play cards again and again if color or number is matched.
Because starting cards is ‘7’ and there has no ‘7’ in fountain cards, the first play must be ‘color match’.

Action #2. Draw the cards. (Draw 2 cards from deck)
You don’t want to or can’t play card(s), draw 2 cards form deck to hand.
All player can hold cards up to 7. If you are holding more cards, discard any card(s) to make 7 cards in your hand. Discarded card(s) will not be used in this game.

To get ‘Lucky Token’…!?
Round card shows 2 information, ‘Lucky number’ and ‘Lucky token’. ‘Lucky number’ is goal of this round.
‘Lucky token’ is reward of this round.
After player finishes card playing, add all number from base card to last card. If result is same with ‘lucky number’ of this round, that player can earn ‘lucky token’ per each card that he (or she) plays.
Even though player plays more cards than remaining token, player can earn remaining ‘lucky token’ only.
Before end of turn, put together all cards that player plays and put the last card on the top of pile to notice what is current base card.
When all ‘lucky token’ is distributed of this round, show off next top card of round deck and place written number of ‘lucky token’.

Point!
Strategically, play as many cards as possible to earn more and give as less earning chance as possible to others.

The end of game
When all ‘lucky token’ of 5 rounds is distributed, the game ends immediately.
If you are holding cards at the end of the game, that gives you a penalty.
Discard your ‘lucky token’ per each card you have.
Who has token most is the winner of this game.

Point!
You have to manage your fountain cards if you think end is coming!
