Tutorial

Step One

All Players will be dealt 4 puzzle Pieces. Each Player will have the chance to discard and draw 1-4 new cards after every player has been dealt to.

Step Two

Starting with the first player, they will either draw a new card from the deck pile or pick up a discarded card from the discard pile and swap it with one of their cards. Players are only allowed 4 cards.

Step Three

Once a player has 3 or 4 cards of the same puzzle they are allowed to call Puzzle Playing Cards. A player who calls Puzzle Playing Cards must do it at the start of their turn. The player who calls Puzzle Playing Cards does not get to draw for a new card and all remaining players play once more before score is added up.
