Thank you for purchasing CUT THROAT RUMMY – THE CARD GAME. The rules for the game are fairly simple, but don’t be fooled. This game is addicting with lots of twists and turns. Use your ACTION CARDS against your fellow players when they least expect it or hold them until later and make them squirm. Recommended for 3 to 7 players. Keep your cool & you’ll have lots of fun!

GENERAL GAME RULES

1. The object of this game is to go down on the board with the appropriate amount of RUNS or SETS as required in each hand. You are then to get rid of the remaining cards in your hand and to have the least amount of points at the end of each hand. Remember that once you are down on the board, you can play on yourself and other players also down on the board to get rid of your remaining cards. The game consists of (SEVEN) seperate hands. To go down on the board , you need a minimum amount of Sets (3 of the same number or 3 like face cards – Jacks, Queens, Kings or Aces) or Runs (Runs consist of 4 cards minimum of the same suit in a row) Ace, King, Queen & Jack Of Spades or 2, 3, 4 & 5 of Hearts as an example. Aces play high only, they are not to be used below a 2 in a run.
2. Each round has different requirements to go down on the board (SEE BELOW).

1st Hand (2 SETS) = 6 Cards

2nd Hand (1 SET, 1 RUN) = 7 Cards
