INSTRUCTIONS (How to play Stack) ((c)Justin Pombrio) Everyone begins with a stack of five cards and a hand of two. On your turn, first draw a card from the deck into your hand. Then you may either, 1. Play one of the cards in your hand. or 2. Place one of the cards in your hand on the top of your stack. If, at any time, you play a card but cannot do what it says (typically because your stack is empty), you immediately lose. A player wins the game if his turn ends and his stack is empty. When a card is played, it is placed in the discard pile, and it then has an effect depending on who played it. Playing a card often causes other cards to be played, sometime even by other players. Here is what the cards do, Pass - Do nothing. Swap - Swap the top two cards in your stack. Dig - Pick a card from your stack, and bring it to the top. Bury - Pick a location in your stack, and move the top card. in your stack there. Zence - Discard the top card in your stack. Once - Play the top card in your stack. Twice - Play the top card in your stack, twice. Thrice - Play the top card in your stack, three times. Push - Transfer the top card in your stack to the top of another player's stack. Pull - Transfer the top card of another player's stack to the top of your stack. Give - Pick up the top card in your stack, and give it to another player, causing *them* to play it. Take - Take the top card in another player's stack and play it as your own. Draw - Draw a card and place it on the top of your stack. ______________________________________________________________ Effect on num. cards in play: 0 0 0 0 -1 -1* -1* -1* 0 0 -1* -1* +1 +1 +1 +1 Assuming all cards are played equally, the game will terminate.
