Players with completed round sequences can pull from the discard pile if the drawn card applies to a completed round sequences.

The name of the game in "Rummathon Royale" is strategic supremacy! Be the 1st player to conquer all 12 rounds & claim the throne with the highest score. Shuffle the deck of 112 playing cards & place the deck face-down in the center of the table. Place the 8 display cards on the side for you to reference.

Dealer give each player 12 cards. The dealer flips over the 1st card, places it next to the deck to form the discard pile. The player to the left of the dealer will be the 1st player. If the 1st card of the discard pile happens to be a special action card (flex, bypass, burden, block, & sabotage), the 1st player may chose to add this card to their hand & draw the 1st card from the deck.

Reevaluation: With the new card in hand, you reevaluate your options. You reassess your sequence & consider whether any of their existing runs or sets can be extended or completed with the newly drawn card.

Strategic Play: After careful consideration, you decide to lay down a sequence of cards, forming a run of 1, 2, & 3 in yellow. You announce your intention to complete the round sequence.

Each player has a unique rule card,

Hitting Other Players' Sequences: With your own sequence completed & cards laid down, you can now hit the runs/sets of other players who have already completed the round sequence. You strategically choose which sequences to target.

If you are successful & you believe that you can also finish another round sequence before anyone “goes out”, you can declare “Double Rummathon Royale”. If you are successful in completing the “Double Rummathon Royale” the game is over. No player needs to officially “go out”. Failure to completed would set you back to repeat the original round sequence of that round.

which are selected at random. On your turn, you draws a card from either the deck or discard pile. If you draws from the discard pile, the card drawn must immediately be used to complete the round sequence. After drawing a card from the discard pile, you must lay down your round sequence. With a valid round sequence, you will discard a card into the discard pile to complete your turn.

End of Turn: After making your moves & decisions, your turn comes to an end. You discard a remaining card & pass the turn to the next player, eagerly anticipating your next opportunity to outmaneuver your opponents & claim victory in "Rummathon Royale."

If the burden card was completed, you will receive 50 bonus points to your score & 100 for the 2x burden card. Failed Burden Cards, the points are given to the player that initiated the burden.

10-12 Cards -10 points

The player that “goes out” collects the points value of the cards remaining in the hands of other players.

Block Card Prevents other players from hitting your runs/s runs/sets ets. Burden Card Imposes an additional round requirement. Sabotage Card Removes flex cards & reshuffles them into the deck. Flex Card Acts as a wild card. Bypass Card Skips any player.

Block Card: Blocks players from adding to the sets & runs of your completed round sequence. Your 1st block card is applied to your own sets &

After the dealer has dealt all players 12 cards, the dealer must ask you if you would like to exchange any points for extra cards. Every 10 points, one extra card can be added to your hand for a max of 20 extra cards each round. Scores are rounded up. So 95 points would allow for you to collect 10 cards.

The player who played the block card can still hit the sets & runs of the blocked player. You cannot play a block card if your round sequence is not completed. Block cards are played when you places the card down in front of the completed round sequence.

Burden Card: Adds an extra round requirement to another player’s round sequence. If the Burden card is completed, you places down the sequence & adds the burden card on top of it. This tells the other players that the burden was completed. No one is allowed to hit the burden sequence. Since, the burden cards add onto the round sequence, failure to complete the burden will also result in the player repeating the round.

Mis Haps:

A round sequence consists of either a run, consecutive cards (1,2,3,4,5), or a set, cards of the same value ( 2,2,2,2,2)

How to handle them

If you are called out for an incorrectly completed sequence after the following player has played but prior to a player “going out”, you would have to repeat the round. If the incorrect sequence is not called, then you may proceed to the next round.

You will place the Reference Cards on the sideline to insure players can make the round sequences correctly.

You cannot lay down a partially completed round sequence. Once you has completed the full round sequence & laid down the hand, you must then attempt to "go out” (discard all cards) by hitting the sets/runs of other players who have also completed the round sequence.

If you mistakenly drew from the discard pile & cannot play a valid round sequence, the penalty is for you to repeat the round sequence over.

The name of the game in "Tally Tangle" is to outmaneuver your opponents in a dynamic game of numerical strategy and colorful chaos. Players aim to strategically place their cards to create chains of numbers, maximizing their points while disrupting their opponents' plans. With special action cards adding twists and turns to the gameplay, every move counts as you race to tally up the highest score and emerge victorious after 12 rounds of exhilarating play.

Block: Temporarily blocks opponents from placing any cards on top. They can only be played on matching color cards.

Twist Match: Double numbers are placed sideways over matching numbers, rotating and opening up the tangle.

Color Match: If a card has an end matching in color to a connecting end of the tangle, and the sum of the connecting colors equals to 5, it can be played.

Sabotage: Permanently blocks any card from being added on top. It ends the connecting tangle line.

Players may miscalculate the points earned from the ends of the tangle or from the remaining cards in opponents' hands. Encourage players to double-check their calculations and ensure that points are accurately tallied at the end of each round.

Only the Ends of the Tangle are Scored: Points are earned only when the ends of the tangle sum to a multiple of 5. Cards within the tangle or unused cards in players' hands do not contribute to the scoring.

NO CARD

TO PLAY

If a rival does not have a numbered card of the color played, the rival can play a card of any color if combined with a flex card. If played with no flex card, then the dealer will automatically win the “rumble”. A rival may play multiple special action cards, up until the number card is played.

Rebels Rumble is a strategic card game for 2-6 players where cunning tactics and calculated risks determine victory. Each rebel aims to collect the most "rumbles" by strategically playing cards and outmaneuvering their rivals.

How It WorKs

Rivals take turns in clockwise order, discarding one card of the same color into the center. The goal is to collectively reach a sum that is a multiple of 5. If the sum is a multiple of 5, the rivals win the round, and the rebel discards the "rumble”.

If not, the rebel wins the round, and the rebel collects the "rumble”.

The rebel rotates after every 3 rounds. With the new rebel, the players receive new cards to replenish their hands back to a total of 12 cards.

Shuffle the deck containing four color sets and special action cards. Deal 12 cards to each player. Determine the first rebel, who rotates clockwise after each 3 round. The rebel starts by placing a card of any color to the center of the table.

Flex: Allows color shifting by playing a numbered card on top of the flex.

Block: Blocks the card value of a rival from adding to the sum. It is optional to place a numbered card after playing a block card.

Bypass: Bypass cards can be used by any rival to skip their own turn or to skip another rival’s turn. The rival that

plays the bypass card must still discard a numbered card before the completion of their turn unless the bypass card was applied to themselves.
