Supplies

1 - 52 card deck

Setting It Up

Take all Kings out of the deck before shuffling and passing out cards.

Everyone starts with 4 cards in their hand.
Each player can have a maximum of 8 cards in their hand. If you are caught with more than 8 cards in your hand and you have a king. Your king will be taken away from you. There is no minimum amount of cards you can have in your hand.

Rules

At the beginningof each turn you can:
- Draw 3 cards from the pile or grab the top card from the discard pile.

At the end of each turn you must:
- Discard at least 1 card. If you want, you can discard your whole hand.

SPECIAL DISCARD EFFECT: 1 card can be chosen from the discard pile once the 4th Jack has been discarded. This effect of course is only allowed by the person that discarded the 4th Jack. You can also choose a card from the discard pile when you discard 2 aces at the same time.

There are 2 discard piles: one used for "K methods" and the other is for users to grab from.

IF ALL KINGS ARE CAPTURED:

- When playing with 3 or more player’s you discard the same suit then you must have the same suit of king taken out.  NOTE: If you have the king that is the same suit, you shouldn’t put down what you have. You will lose your king.

- Once all Kings are in play, "K Methods" are now used to take Kings out of play so they are available again. You can still steal Kings normally.

CARD GROUPS (“K Method’s"):

2 Queen’s (also allows you to steal)
3 Jack’s (4 Jack’s can steal)
8 through 10 of the same suit
5 through 7 of the same suit
Ace through 4 of the same suit

NOTE: Aces are always one.

The Winner

The winner is determined by who gets all 4 kings. Once a player has all 4 kings the game is over.
