Notes
1. A player may not play more than one
card at a time.
2. On the rare occasion when neither
player can match either of the top
cards on the two center piles, play
is paused and—
•if both players have cards left in
their draw piles, each player takes
the top card from his or her draw
pile, places it face up on one of the
center piles, and play resumes.
•if one, or both, of the players has
depleted his or her draw pile,
each player picks one card from
his or her hand, and simultaneously
places them face up on one of the
center piles, and play resumes.
•if each player has only one card
left, the game ends in a tie.

More Ways to Play BLINK
Three Player BLINK
®
BLINK
can be played as a three-player
game with the following changes:
1. Shuffle the cards and deal them, face
down, to form three equal draw piles.
2. Place one draw pile in front of each
player.
3. Each player places the top card from
his or her draw pile, face down, so
that it is an equal distance between
the player and the player to the right.
The cards will form a triangle and
each player will have a card to the
right and to the left.

4. Each player can play cards from his
or her hand onto the pile to the left
or the pile to the right.
Four or More Players /
Tournament Play
With four or more players, BLINK® can
be played as a single-elimination
tournament. To advance in the
tournament,
a player must win two-out-of-three
games against an opponent.
For Balanced Play
If one player is significantly faster than
another, the faster player can start the
game with more cards.
