SQUARE

In this shedding game you play “clusters” to get rid of your cards but also draw cards if it is not full. A cluster is an uninterrupted sequence of cards, with multiple cards of the same number playable. Each successive hand must be a stronger cluster, either more cards played or the lowest number must be higher if the same number of cards is played. Be first to shed all your cards!

There are 10 cards each of 1 to 10. 11 starting cards each are dealt, with an emphasis on lower numbers, and deck cards, with an emphasis on higher numbers, will be drawn later. On a turn players may play a “cluster” of cards or pass. However, you draw as many cards as are needed to fill out the cluster into a rectangle. Play successively stronger clusters, until all other players pass and the table is cleared. Get rid of all your cards to win!
