Gameplay

• Select a card on the field that is higher or lower than the card in play (K).
• Aces can be played on both a 2 and a King Card.
• Survey all the face up cards; choose the cards that can create the longest string. If faced with multiple choices, select a card that is stacked above another card versus a standalone card.

Critter Cards

• Critter Cards are bonus cards that assist you in clearing the field.

You do not need to be concerned that you will lose a Critter Cards power by blowing it up with another card.
