Objective

Collect the most points by winning Clashes against your opponents. The game ends after 3 Bouts or when a player reaches 200 points.

Card Reference

• Number Cards (2–13): Used to meet or exceed the value of the active Clash Card.
• Star Cards: Wildcards that automatically beat any number card. If two Stars are played, they result in a tie.

Gameplay

A Bout consists of 5 Clashes for a stack of cards. All players act simultaneously.

1. Setup: Each player draws 5 cards from their own deck.
2. The Clash:
   • The top card of a 5-card Clash stack is revealed.
   • Each player chooses one of their 5 hand cards and places it face-down.
   • All cards are revealed simultaneously.
3. Determining the Winner:
   • Your card must be at least equal to the value of the revealed Clash Card to be eligible.
   • Among eligible players, the highest card wins.
   • The winner takes the Clash Card and all player cards played this round into their Point Pile.
4. Ties & Misses:
   • If no one meets the Clash Card value or the highest cards played are tied, there is no winner.
   • All cards remain in the pot to be won in the next Clash.
5. Next Clash: Reveal the next card from the stack until all 5 hand cards have been played.

Scoring

At the end of each Bout, players count their Point Piles:

• 5 points: Each card with a value of 10 or more.
• 10 points: Each Star Card.
• 15 point bonus: Awarded to the player with the most cards in their Point Pile.

Game End

The game ends after 3 Bouts or once a player hits 200 points. The player with the highest score wins.
