Scram - How To Play
The Game
Create the biggest pile of cats you can, then do it again! Soon there'll be stacks of cats EVERYWHERE.
How To Start
Shuffle all the cards, then deal 5 cards to each player. Place the remaining cards together in the center of the table. This will become your deck.
Flip over the first 3 cards of the deck and lay them face up in the middle of the table. This will be your Pet Store.
The player who owns the laziest cat foes first. If no one owns a cat, the player with the dumbest dog goes first. If no one owns either, reconsider your life choices (and let the youngest player go first).
How To Play
The Turn Players take turns by going clockwise around the table. Each turn is made up of two phases.
- ~Draw Phase: If you have less then 5 cards in your hand, draw cards up to that number.
You can draw from either the face-down cards in the deck or the face-up cards in the Pet Store. If you draw a card from the Pet Store, immediately replace it by revealing a new card from the top of the deck.
- Action Phase: You can choose to of 1 of 3 things during your Action Phase.
- Play a Point Cat card on y our Active Stack.
- Play a Stray Cat card on another player's Active Stack.
- Shuffle your hand into the Deck and draw 5 new cards.
