as part of both a sequence and a group. The first player to

BASIC RULES OF THE GAME

Each player is dealt ten cards. The remainder of the deck is
placed in the center of the “table” face down to form a
“stock” pile. The top card is then turned over and placed
beside the stock pile to form a discard pile.

A player’s turn consists of drawing a card from either the
discard pile or the stock pile and placing it in his/her hand.
The player then chooses one card from his/her hand and
plays it to the discard pile, ending his/her turn. If the player
takes a card from the discard pile, he/she may not
immediately discard that same card. Players take turns, until
one or the other decides to

others their designated amount). A player must knock after

players then place their cards face up on the table. The non­knocking player may then “lay off” any of his/her unmatched
cards by extending the sets of the knocking player — unless
the knocking player has “Gin.”

Note: Knocking is purely optional.

SCORING

If the knocking player’s point total is less than his/her
opponent’s, he/she scores a number of points equal to the
difference. If the knocking player has no unmatched cards,
this is called
bonus. If the opponent’s total is equal to or lower than the

¨ FREE PARKING

®

OBJECT

To be the first player to score 200 points.

BASIC RULES OF THE GAME

Free Parking is a point-scoring card game in which you play
“Feed the Meter” cards to add time to your parking meter,
then run errands to score points. Errands take time off your
meter so you’ll need to keep a healthy balance of playing
Feed the Meter cards and running errands to score the most
points. There is also the wild card option of playing “Second
Chance” cards that can either help or hurt you.

A PLAYER’S HAND

Each player is initially dealt 5 cards. On your turn, you must
draw a card to bring your card total up to 6 cards.

FEED THE METER CARDS

These cards let you put time on your meter. You need to
“feed your meter” in order to play Errand cards. Feed the
Meter cards feature “X” amount of minutes. The meter’s time
display will adjust itself to show how much time you have fed
into the meter. Your total time can never exceed 60 minutes.

ERRAND (POINT) CARDS

Errand cards score points. You only score points if your meter
can accommodate the amount of time shown on the Errand
card.

Note: Errand cards can be played when there is not

enough time on your meter. However, no points are scored.
After you play an Errand card, your meter will subtract the
number of minutes shown on that card.

VIOLATION

When your meter runs to zero, you are in violation. This will
leave you vulnerable to Second Chance cards and other
special cards, which can result in loss of points.

SECOND CHANCE CARDS

At the end of your turn, you may choose to either end your turn
or draw a card from the Second Chance deck. Second Chance
cards are special cards that can either help or hurt you. If you
draw a Second Chance card, you must do what it says. If you do
not take a Second Chance card, you must end your turn.

SPECIAL CARDS

Officer Jones – The Officer Jones card can only be played on
a player whose meter is in “Violation.” The affected player
will have his/her lowest point card deducted from his/her
point total. Play this card directly on your opponent’s meter.

Talk Your Way Out of It – Playing this card allows you to
negate any Officer Jones card played on you by an opponent.
You can immediately play this card after an opponent plays
an Officer Jones card on you. This card also blocks any
Officer Jones cards played against you from the Second
Chance deck. (See “Second Chance Cards,” above.)

Free Parking – Once a Free Parking card is played, you can
immediately play an Errand card. This Errand card deducts
no time from your meter.

Time Expires – This card will bring any opposing player’s meter
to Violation. Play this card directly on your opponent’s meter.

THE FREE PARKING®GAME SCREEN

On Your Turn:

1. Left-click on the red “draw card” button to draw enough

cards to bring your hand up to a total of six cards.
you don’t like your cards, you may – at the beginning of
your turn – discard 3 of your cards and draw 3 new ones.
(See “The Onscreen Buttons” on page 16.) The only other
move you can make on this turn is to draw a Second
Chance card, if you wish.

2. Left-click on the card you wish to play to select it.

3. Move the selected card to your meter if playing the card on

yourself. Move the selected card to your opponent’s meter
if playing the card on your opponent.

« SPADES

OBJECT

To be the first team to score 500 points.

BASIC RULES OF THE GAME

Spades is a 4-player partnership game where the object is to
make contracts to take a certain numbers of “tricks.” Spades
is played with a standard deck of cards. Ace is high. Spades is
always the

trump suit, making spades more powerful than

any other suit. When a round is played, the highest card
played of the suit led will collect all the cards for that round
(called “taking the trick”), unless a spade was played.
Whenever spades are played, the highest spade takes the
trick. A game of Spades will take several rounds to play.

BIDDING TRICKS

At the start of each game, the entire deck is dealt to the four
players (13 cards each). Each player bids the number of tricks
he/she believes he/she will take for the round (0-13). The
sum of the two partners’ bids becomes that team’s contract.
Note: Partners are “seated” diagonally across from each other
onscreen. Teams score points by making the contracts that
they bid.

SPECIAL BIDS

Nil Bid: Bidding zero tricks is called a Nil bid. If you make a
Nil bid, you must select three cards from your hand, and pass
them face down to your partner. Your partner must then
make his/her bid before passing three of his/her cards back
to you. Only after your partner has made his/her bid may
he/she look at the cards that you passed.
partners bid Nil, no cards are exchanged.

Double Nil Bid: At the start of a round, before looking at your
cards, you may bid Double Nil. Bonuses and penalties are
then double those for a Nil Bid. (See “Nil Bid Scoring
Bonus/Penalty” on page 18.) Card exchanges, however, are
handled the same as a Nil Bid.

Note: If both

PLAYING YOUR CARDS

The player to lead a round can play any card except a spade
— unless the player only has spades. Moving clockwise, each
player then plays one card of the suit played. If you do not
have a card of that suit, you may play any card.

Once each player has played a card, the player who played
either the highest spade, or the highest card of the suit led,
takes the trick. Play continues until all cards have been
played (a total of 13 tricks).

SCORING

Each partnership that takes the total number of tricks in its
contract receives 10 points for each trick bid and 1 point per
“overtrick.” Partnerships that fail to make their bid lose 10
points per trick bid, thus making negative points possible. If
a team accumulates 10 or more “overtrick” points, the team
will lose 100 points.

Important! If one or both partners bid Nil, each hand is
scored separately.

Nil Bid Scoring Bonus/Penalty

If one partner bids Nil – the team receives points based on
the number of tricks the other partner bid, plus a 100-point
bonus if the Nil player did not take any tricks. However, if the
Nil player did take any tricks, the team loses 100 points.

If both partners bid Nil – the team receives a 200-point
bonus if neither partner took any tricks — or loses 200 points
if either partner did.

BASIC RULES OF THE GAME

At the start of the game, each player is dealt ten cards. Each

slot #50 at the back and working down to slot #5 at the front.
The rest of the cards are placed number-side down in one
side of the tray to form the Draw Pile. The top card is turned
over and placed in the other side of the tray to form the
Discard Pile.

RACKO is played in rounds. Each round ends when a player
calls “RACKO” by getting his/her cards into order, from LOW
at the front end of the rack to HIGH at the back. Play
continues until one player reaches 500 points.

PLAYING A ROUND

On your turn, take the top card from either the Discard Pile
or the Draw Pile.

ª HEARTS

OBJECT

To be the player to score the fewest points.

BASIC RULES OF THE GAME

Hearts is a 4-player game. A game lasts several hands, until
one player exceeds 100 points, at which time the player with
the lowest score wins. The only cards worth points are any
heart and the Queen of Spades. Each heart is worth one
point and the Queen of Spades is worth thirteen points. After
each hand, players receive one penalty point for each heart
card that they took in tricks. Scoring is done automatically.

THE DEAL

Play begins with thirteen cards being dealt to each player.
Each player then selects three of their cards, and passes
them to another player as directed.

GAMEPLAY

The player holding the Two of Clubs opens with that card as
lead. Play then passes to the left, with each player playing a
card of the same suit if possible. If not possible, the player
may then play any card. Once each player has played one
card, the player who played the highest card in the suit led
wins the trick. The player who wins the trick plays first on the
next hand.

Note:A trick cannot be led with a heart until at least one has been
played during a trick, or the player has nothing but hearts in
his/her hand.

WINNING

Once a player’s score reaches 100 points, the game ends. At
that time, the player with the

fewest number of points wins.

BASIC RULES OF THE GAME

Partners

The “Tournament” game of Rook is a 4-player partnership
game, where partners are seated diagonally across from each
other.

The Deck of Cards

The basic deck consists of 56 cards numbered 1 through 14
in each of four different colors (green, red, black and yellow).
For this game, the 1’s, 2’s, 3’s, and 4’s are removed from the
deck and the Rook Bird card is added, for a total of 41 cards.

The Deal

Cards are dealt one at a time and include a 5-card “nest.”
Each player receives his/her first card, then one card is
placed face down in the center of the table as the first nest
card. This is repeated until there are 5 cards in the nest. The
remaining cards are then dealt to the four players (a total of 9
cards per player).

Scoring

Only certain cards in the deck, called “Count Cards” or
“Counters,” have point values:

Each 5 ....................5 points

Each 10 .................10 points

Each 14..................10 points

Rook Bird ...............20 points

The Counters are the only cards that have value for scoring.
Each partnership’s score is the sum of all the Count Cards in
the tricks they captured.
capture enough Counters to make a score equal to the bid,
the partnership is set back the
they get
capture more than their bid, full credit is given for all
Counters. If your partnership did not win the bid, you still
receive points for your Count Cards.

Scoring example: The partnership that took the bid at 90
collected only 75 points in Count Cards. The full 90 points is
deducted from their score (or they’re given -90, if it’s the first
hand); they do not score the 75 points they did collect. Their
opponents, who collected the remaining Count Cards, are
given 45 points.

Bidding

Players bid for the privilege of choosing the trump color.
There is a great advantage in being the player who chooses
trump color, since a trump card can capture any card of any
other color. Your opening bid must be at least

partner will be able to capture with your hands provided you
are able to name the color that will be trump. If you captured
all Count Cards you would score 120 points (the maximum
number of points that can be scored). You should remember,
there’s always a risk when you take the bid!

Note:To calculate what you could bid, count up the value of the
Count Cards in your hand. Look at the number of high cards you
have, as well as the distribution of colors. If you have no cards of
one suit, you can trump in (with the color you named) when that
color is led and win the trick.

Rook Bird Card

This Rook uses the powerful Rook Bird card, which is used as the
highest trump card no matter what color is named as trump.

• You may play the Rook Bird card

at any time, regardless of

the color led and regardless of the other cards in your
hand. It is the only card that has this privilege.

• If led, all other players must play a trump, if they have one.

• If trump color is led and you have no other trump card,
you

must play the Rook Bird.

Bidding passes clockwise. You may, but need not, bid on your
turn. Either bid at least 5 points higher than the last bidder
or “pass.” Having passed, you may not bid again that hand.
Bidding continues in turn until no player will bid higher.

The Nest

The highest bidder adds the 5 cards in the nest to his/her
hand, then lays down any 5 cards to one side. You may
bury Count Cards in the new nest if you wish, or take this
opportunity to discard one or two colors completely so
you can trump these colors when they are led against you.
The player who takes the last trick captures the nest as well;
for this reason, you may want to put “eggs” into the nest,
such as unprotected 10’s and 5’s, if you think you’ll take
the last trick.

After adding the nest to his/her hand and discarding five
cards, the high bidder announces trump color, usually the
color in which he/she holds the most cards.

The Gameplay

After trump color has been announced, the first player
“leads” any card of any color face up to the center of the
table. Play passes to the left, each player in turn playing one
card face up. After each player has played, the highest card of
the color led takes all the cards played. This is called “taking
a trick.” The person who takes the trick makes the next lead.

Note: Unless you play the Rook Bird card, you must “follow suit” if
possible. If you have a card of the color led,you must play that
color. If you can’t follow suit, you may throw away a worthless card,
play the Rook Bird card,or play a trump. The highest card of the
color led takes the trick unless this trick is trumped, in which case
the highest trump takes the trick.The Rook Bird takes any trick on
which it is played — it trumps trump! Remember, you and your
partner will add your Counters together so, if you think your
partner may take the trick, play a Counter.

The player who takes the last trick captures the nest and
scores any Counters found in it.

HOW TO WIN

When all cards in the hand have been played, each partner­ship counts up the Count Cards it collected. (See “Scoring”
on page 23.) The partners’ scores are added together. Play
continues until one partnership reaches 300 points and wins.

THE VARIATIONS

ROOK TOURNAMENT RULES (4 Player only) – This is the

default game described above in pages 22 - 25.

24

PARKER BROTHERS®CLASSIC CARD GAMES PARKER BROTHERS®CLASSIC CARD GAMES

25

ROOK ORIGINAL (3 or 4 Player) – This version is essentially

the same as the original game published in 1906. It is played
with the entire deck, minus the Rook Bird card. The maximum
bid, therefore, is 100 points. Games are played to 150 points.
This version is not a partnership game, so all bids are for
individual players only, and are scored accordingly. There is no
minimum bid. Each player is dealt 14 cards. There is no nest.
Note: In a 3-player game, the 1’s, 2’s, 3’s and 4’s are removed
from the deck, and the person to the left of the dealer will end
the hand with one extra card.

ROOK RED ONE (4 PLAYER ONLY) – This version uses the
same deck as the Tournament Rules described on page 25 with
the addition of the Red 1 card. The nest here features six cards
instead of the normal five. Games are played to 500 points.
Red One is played exactly as described in the Tournament
Rules, except that the Red 1 card is the highest trump of all —
even higher than the Rook Bird — and is worth 30 points. The
maximum bid is 150 points, with a minimum bid of the usual
70 points. In this version, the Rook Bird and Red 1 cannot be
played if the player could have followed suit.

« CRIBBAGE

OBJECT

Cribbage is a two-player game where the object is to score
points by counting combinations of cards during different
stages of the game. Cribbage is played with a standard 52­card deck, with cards ranking from the King (high) to the Ace
(low). The face cards have a value of ten, the Ace has a value
of one, and the other cards are tallied according to their
number. Pegs on the cribbage board are used to keep track
of points.

THE CRIBBAGE BOARD

Our cribbage board is made up of two rows of 120 holes
each, and one additional hole at the end of the board. When
a player scores, the computer automatically marks the score
on the board by jumping the player’s rear peg ahead of the
other by a corresponding number of holes. The game is
played until one player reaches the end of the board for a
total of 121 points.

THE DEAL

One player will randomly be selected to be the “Dealer” for
the first hand. Thereafter, the deal alternates between the
players. The computer will deal each player 6 cards. Each
player studies his/her hand and must then discard two of
his/her cards. These four discarded cards are placed together,
forming an extra hand known as the “Crib.” There are there­fore three hands of four cards each for each deal. They are:

• The opponent’s hand

• The dealer’s hand

• The Crib

STARTING THE GAME

After both players have discarded to the Crib, the game
begins. The computer turns the top card from the deck face
up to start play. This card is called the “Start.” It is not used in
the play. It is, however, counted with each hand and the Crib
after play is completed. If the Start is a Jack, the dealer pegs
two holes on the board for “Nobs.”

PLAYING THE HANDS

The non-dealer plays any card from his/her hand face up in
the play area. The dealer then responds with a card from
his/her hand. Playing alternates until the sum of the cards
played is 31, or until neither player can play without
exceeding 31.

When a player is unable to play a card without putting the
total over 31, he/she must announce “Go.” The other player
then pegs one for the “Go” and continues playing until
he/she reaches 31 (for a score of two points) or until he/she
cannot play a card without putting the total over 31. All cards
are then cleared from the play area and the count begins
again with both players playing out their hands without
going over 31. Play continues this way until both players
have exhausted their hands. The “last card” played scores
one point.
points are pegged. There is no “last” in this case.

A Little Background Info

Along the roads in Europe – especially in France – one sees
small cement markers at regular intervals. The French call
these markers
kilometer-stones or milestones. Milestones show the number
of the route as well as the distance to the next town. Their
red or yellow color also shows whether the route is a national
highway or a local road. These markers give this game its
name: MILLE BORNES (pronounced “MEEL BORN”) which
means “a thousand milestones.”

Mille Bornes is a game for 2, 3 or 4 players. It is usually played
as a partnership game by 4 players – 2 on each team.

A

B

C

D

In this card game, you must follow these very same rules.
And while sticking to them, you and your partner must try
to travel 1,000 miles along an imaginary road. But be careful!
Your opponents are trying to do the same and will try to slow
you down by placing hazards in your path. Your challenge:
to accumulate mileage by overcoming these hazards, while
also trying to slow your opponents’ progress with hazards
of your own.

The ultimate object of the game is to be the first team to
accumulate a total of 5,000 points. (This will take several
hands of play.) In doing so, you must try to complete a trip
of exactly 1,000 miles in each hand played.

THE CARDS

The Mille Bornes deck features several different kinds
of cards.

Distance Cards – These are the cards with the milestones
on them. Each one represents a distance of 25, 50, 75, 100
or 200 miles. When played, they are added together to
determine the distance traveled.

Hazard Cards – There are 18 Hazard Cards: 3 Out of Gas,
3 Flat Tire, 3 Accident, 4 Speed Limit, and 5 Stop.

Remedy Cards – There are 38 Remedy Cards: 6 Gasoline,
6 Spare Tire, 6 Repair, 6 End of Limit, and 14 Roll.

Safety Cards – There are 4 Safety Cards: 1 Extra Tank,
1 Puncture-Proof, 1 Driving Ace, and 1 Right of Way.

HOW THE CARDS RELATE

For each Hazard Card there is a corresponding Remedy Card
that overcomes the hazard. There is also a corresponding
Safety Card that not only overcomes the hazard but also
prevents it from occurring again.

RULES FOR A 4-PLAYER GAME

OBJECT

As a driver, you must follow the rules of the road. Namely:
You can go only when the light is green. You must stop
when the light is red. You must obey speed limit signs. If
you get a flat tire, you must use a spare. If you run out of
gas, you must refill your tank. If you have an accident,
you must repair your car.

WHERE TO PLAY THE CARDS

The cards are placed underneath the car and the players who
ride in it.

This unusual deck of cards also has an unusual method of
placement. There are 4 basic play areas: a Battle Area, a
Speed Area, a Distance Area, and a Safety Area. (See “The
Mille Bornes Game Screen” on page 37.)

Setup

Each player is dealt 6 cards face up. The remaining cards
are then placed face down in a stack. These cards form the
draw pile.

HOW TO PLAY THE CARDS

Hazard Cards

Stop, Out of Gas, Flat Tire, and Accident

Play these cards offensively onto your opponents’ Battle
Area. By playing one, you temporarily prevent your
opponents from gaining any further distance.

Speed Limit

Play this card onto your opponents’ Speed Area. While it is
showing, your opponents can play 25-mile and 50-mile
Distance Cards only.

Remedy Cards

Gasoline, Spare Tire, and Repair

Play these cards defensively onto your own team’s Battle
Area. Play one onto the corresponding hazard an opponent
has played against you. By doing so, you overcome the
hazard and may again be able to play a Distance Card.

Roll

Play this card onto a Stop Card an opponent has played
against you. Also, after playing a Gasoline, Spare Tire or
Repair Card, you must first play a Roll Card on a subsequent
turn in order to play further Distance Cards. As you’ll learn
further on, the exception to this rule is when the Right of Way
Card is in your Safety Area.
Distance Card at the start of a race until you play a Roll Card.

End of Limit

Play this card onto your own team’s Speed Area to counter
a Speed Limit Card played against you. Your team can then
resume normal speed and play any Distance Card.

Distance Cards

You may play Distance Cards when a Roll Card is on top of
your Battle Area or – as you’ll learn – when the Right of Way
Card is in your Safety Area.

You may play almost any combination of Distance Cards to
make 1,000 miles. You may not, however, play more than two
200-mile cards. You can either replace a 200-mile card in
your hand, or discard it by carrying it over to the trash can
and left-clicking. Under no circumstances may you play
Distance Cards that will bring your total over the 1,000-mile
mark. If you should place a Distance Card that causes your
mileage to exceed 1,000, you will hear a beep informing you
that you may not play that card.

Safety Cards

Right of Way, Extra Tank, Puncture-Proof, and Driving Ace

Play these cards in your team’s Safety Area. By playing one,
you gain several advantages:

1. You overcome a corresponding Hazard Card an opponent
has already played against you.

2. You prevent your opponents from playing a corresponding
Hazard Card for the rest of the hand.

3. By playing a Safety Card you may

another card and take another complete turn.

The Right of Way Card is the most powerful card in the deck
for several reasons:

1. Because it cancels a Hazard already in play, it allows you to
play 75-mile, 100-mile and 200-mile Distance Cards even if
a Speed Limit Card is already showing on top of your
Speed Area.

2. It prevents your opponents from playing a Stop Card
onto your Battle Area or a Speed Limit Card onto your
Speed Area.

3. It permits you to play Distance Cards even if you don’t
have a Roll Card exposed.

Important! You cannot play a

immediately draw

32

PARKER BROTHERS®CLASSIC CARD GAMES PARKER BROTHERS®CLASSIC CARD GAMES

33

But remember, even though they can’t play a Stop or Speed
Limit Card on you, your opponents may still stop you by
playing Out of Gas, Flat Tire, or Accident Cards onto your
Battle Area. In these cases, however, you still don’t need to
play a Roll Card in order to be able to play Distance Cards.
You only need to play the proper Remedy Card.

COUP FOURRE (pronounced “Coo-Foo-Ray”)

Coup Fourre is a French fencing term for “counterthrust.”
It describes the action by which one fencer parries the
opponent’s thrust and counterattacks in the same maneuver.
In this game, the action is similar and operates in the
following manner.

If an opponent plays a Hazard Card – on you or any other
player – and you hold the corresponding Safety Card, the
Safety Card will automatically be played to your Safety Area
as a “Coup Fourre.”

You may play a Coup Fourre whether or not it is your turn.

A Safety Card played as a Coup Fourre entitles you to the
following advantages:

1. Immediately remove the Hazard Card from your Battle
Area or Speed Area (in the case of the Right of Way Card)
and place it onto the discard pile.

2. Take an extra turn.

3. You are protected from the corresponding Hazard Card for
the rest of the hand.

4. You’ll score the base 100 points for a Safety Card plus an
additional 300 points for having played it as a Coup Fourre,
for a total of 400 points.

When you finish your turn, play continues around the table
in the usual manner. Any players between you and the player
who played the Hazard Card that started the Coup Fourre,
lose their turns.

PLAYING

Your turn consists of two parts: drawing one card and adding
it to your hand; then either playing one card to the table or
discarding one card to the discard pile. Thus, you always
hold 6 cards in your hand at the end of each turn.

If you’re the first player, start by drawing a card from the
draw pile and adding it to your hand. You then must make
one of the following plays:

A. If you have a Roll Card, you may play it face up to the table
to start your Battle Area. Your turn ends, and play passes to
the opponent on your left.

B. If you have a Safety Card, you may play it face up.
Whenever you play a Safety Card, you may immediately take
another complete turn. Start by drawing another card from
the draw pile. If you have another Safety Card, you may play
it and still have another turn, and so on.

C. If you have a Speed Limit Card, you may play it in front of
an opponent, even though your opponent has not yet had a
chance to play and thus has no Roll Card exposed. This play
starts your opponents’ Speed Area.

D. If you can’t make any one of these plays, you must discard
one card, face up, thus starting the discard pile. Discarded
cards are out of play for the rest of the hand.

When the first player has finished his/her turn, the second
player starts by drawing a card. As the second player, you
may then make any one of the plays already described, with
two additional possibilities. If the first player played a Roll
Card, you may play a Hazard Card on top of it. If the first
player played a Speed Limit Card, you may play an End of
Limit Card on top of it.

As the third player, you play as a partner of the first player
and don’t start any piles of your own. You have the same
possible plays as the first and second players. If, however,
your partner played a Roll Card or a Right of Way Card, you
may play a Distance Card in front of your partner, thus
starting the Distance Piles for your team.

As the fourth player, you play as a partner of the second
player and don’t start any piles of your own. You have the
same possible plays as the first, second, and third players.
Play then continues, in turn, until the end of the hand.

Special Notes
A.

When beginning a hand, usually it’s better to play a
Roll Card to get your distance started rather than playing
a Hazard Card against your opponents.

B. Ordinarily, you must show a Roll Card on your Battle Area
in order to play Distance Cards. The exception is when the
Right of Way Card is displayed in your Safety Area. This card
allows you to play Distance Cards even if you don’t have a
Roll Card exposed.

C. If you can’t use a card, don’t hold it in your hand. Instead,
discard it.
you’ve played two of them; and an Out of Gas Card has no
value if your opponent has played the Extra Tank Card in his
or her Safety Area.

D. Try to remember which cards have been played.
For example: A Spare Tire Card has no value when all the
corresponding Flat Tire Cards have been played.

For example: A 200-mile card has no value once

E. You can play a Speed Limit Card on your opponents’

Speed Area even when there is a Hazard Card displayed on
their Battle Area, and vice versa.

F. You are allowed to place a Hazard Card directly on top of
another Hazard Card that’s not yet remedied. But don’t
expect both hazards to count.

top of the pile counts.

G. Don’t forget to take an extra turn each time you play a
Safety Card.

H. Each Coup Fourre earns you 300 points in addition to the
100 points you automatically collect for that same card
played as a Safety Card. Therefore, whenever possible, play a
Safety Card as a Coup Fourre. However, don’t hold out for a
Coup Fourre too long. You’ll get no credit for a Safety Card
that’s still in your hand at the end of the game.

RULES FOR A 2 OR 3-PLAYER GAME

In a game of 2 or 3 players, you’re on your own. Your own
game piles will be displayed in front of you. With the
following exceptions, playing and scoring are the same as
in the 4-player partnership game:

A. Before the hand is dealt, the following cards are removed:
1 Stop, 1 Accident, 1 Out of Gas, 1 Flat Tire, and 1 Speed Limit.

B. The distance of a trip is shortened from 1,000 miles to
700 miles.

C. Extend Play: If you are the first to reach exactly 700 miles,
you may – if you wish – choose to continue the hand to 1,000
miles. To do this, you must call for an “Extension.” The hand
then goes on until someone reaches 1,000 miles or until no
one has any cards left.

The first player to reach 1,000 miles scores the usual 400
bonus points for completing the trip. If the hand ends after
all the cards have been played without any player reaching
1,000 miles, no one receives the 400 bonus points.

If you are the player who calls for an “Extension” and are also
the first to reach 1,000 miles, 200 bonus points are added to
the 400 points for completing a trip. If you call “Extension”
and someone else reaches 1,000 miles, 200 bonus points are
given to each opponent.
