2s are wild. They can stand in for any card. In straights, 3 is low and Ace is high. When a deal needs two straights, they must be different suits. After laying down your deal goal, add cards to any meld on the table.

Bonk and scoring

Bonk

After a valid discard, press BONK before the next player draws. The next player decides whether to take it. If they decline, you take that card plus one from the draw pile.

End a deal

In deals 1-6, discard your last card after completing the goal. In deal 7, your last cards must be part of your final melds.

Keep points low

2 = 25, 3-7 = 5, 8-King = 10, Ace = 15. When a player goes out, everyone else scores their cards left in hand.
