The queen is vulnerable to attack, but it protects other cards. You know how Queens are the best piece in Chess? Yeah, that's not really the case here. Here's a hypothetical scenario: If you play a 7 as a one-off and pick up a Jack from the deck, it's possible that you will have to place it on one of your own point cards if your opponent has none. You can either put it on your opponent's point card and take it for yourself, or you can be stupid and place it on one of your own point cards, in which case your opponent takes it because you're stupid. Jackson, guest starring Quentin Tarantino as Racist Bit Character and Strangly-Hands McGee The Glasses Eight, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, starring Christoph Waltz and Samuel L. Or until they're removed somehow.įor the purposes of conciseness, the "Glasses" Eight is considered to be a Royal card. Unlike one-offs, they stay on the table forever!!. Like one-offs, Royals are worth zero points but have a special effect. Let's move onto the next section before we start drowning in sub-sub-sub-headers.
It also prevents you from spamming Jacks like a petulant little bitch.Īlright.
This gives you at least one turn of reprieve, as well as giving you the opportunity to take your opponent's card for yourself. The next player who draws will take the card. Nines: Place a Royal or a Point card face-down on the draw pile. If you wish to include it, I've devised an alternate effect for 9s: We'll get into Jacks in the next subsection. I suppose it could be useful for a strategy centered around Jacks. If you use it on your opponent, they can just play the same card their next turn (which is immediately after). In most cases, however, you will be able to take your turn even after counter-attacking with a 2. I can't think of a reason why, but you are allowed to treat this counter-attack as your turn. Since your opponent's one-off card will be in limbo, this counter-attack always occurs before the one-off's effect takes place. Nines: Return a Royal or a Point card to its owner's hand.ĭuring your opponent's turn, you may also play a 2 as a counter-attack to any one-off card. as a point card, a scuttle, or a one-off). Second, immediately play it in any fashion you like (e.g.
Sevens: First, draw one card from the draw pile. Sixes: Every royal card on the table is placed in the scrap pile. He gets to choose.įives: Draw two cards from the draw pile. Threes: Sort through the scrap pile and pick any card you like.įours: Your opponent removes two cards from his hand and places them in the scrap pile. Twos: Place one royal on the table into the scrap pile. There are three areas I want to cover in this subsection:Īces: Every point-scoring card on the table, for both players, is moved to the scrap pile. To be resolved, two things must happen: the opponent has not cancelled the one-off, and the one-off's effect has taken place. Once it is resolved, the one-off is moved to the scrap pile. When playing a one-off, the card is set aside in limbo. One-offs give you zero points, but they have certain special effects. All numbered cards-except for 8s and 10s-can be played as a "one-off".
