RAGE: Test Your Patience!
Buckle up for a wild ride with RAGE, the card game that will push your limits! One moment, you’re on top of the world, and the next, you’re left in the dust. But don’t worry, because this game is all about revenge, laughter, and a healthy dose of competition. It’s perfect for families with young ones who want to practice their number and color skills.
The name of the game is to earn the most points by winning the most tricks. You’ll need to play the right cards that match the leading suit. But here’s where it gets thrilling: when Rage Cards come into play, chaos ensues! Suddenly, you have the power to mess with your opponents and thwart their bids. It’s a battle of wits and strategy!
GETTING STARTED
Alright, let’s get started with the setup. First, we need to choose someone to keep score. They’ll be in charge of writing down everyone’s names on the score sheet and keeping track of the scores throughout the game. Once we have our scorekeeper, we can move on.
Next, we need to decide who will be the first dealer. This person will shuffle the cards and deal 10 cards to each player for the first round. Once everyone has their cards, the dealer will shuffle the deck again and place it in the middle of the group.
Now, it’s time to determine the trump color for the upcoming round. The dealer will flip over the top card from the deck and place it on top. Whatever color that card represents will be the trump for this round. And just like that, we’re ready to start the game!
GAMEPLAY
Alright, let’s get this game started! I’ll kick things off by playing a card from my hand. I’ll place it face up in the center of the playing area. Now it’s your turn! Just lay down a card from your hand, face up in the center.
We keep going in a counter-clockwise direction, with each player placing one card from their hand onto the pile in the middle. The rule is simple: you have to play a card that matches the leading suit if you have one in your hand. But don’t worry if you don’t have a matching card – you can play any card, including a trump card or an action card!
Once everyone has played a card, we consider the trick complete. Now the fun part begins! The trick is won by the highest scoring card of the leading suit. If any trump cards were played, then we have a trumped trick! The highest scoring trump card takes the win. And here’s a tip: the player who wins the trick keeps track of their victories by collecting all the played cards and stacking them neatly next to themselves.
So here’s how the game works: I start each round by playing the leading card from my hand. We keep playing rounds until all the cards in our hands have been played. The player who wins the most tricks and scores the most points is the winner of the game!
But wait, there are some house rules!
First, let’s talk about dealing.
In each round, we’ll receive a different number of playing cards. In the first round, we get 10 cards each. But in the last round, we only get 1!
Next up, bidding.
Bidding is just for fun and to add some excitement to the game. After looking at our cards, we’ll each guess how many tricks we think we can win in the round. The scorekeeper will write down our predictions.
And finally, action cards.
Get Ready to Be Outraged!
When you play an Out Rage Card, it’s like shaking up the game! The Trump Card, which is the card that gives you special powers, is suddenly gone. You flip it over, and now any card can be a normal color card. It’s like the rules have changed, and you have to go back to matching the leading suit. There’s no way around it for the rest of the round!
Experience the Bonus Rush!
Imagine this: you play a Bonus Rage Card, and something incredible happens. The next time you win a trick, you earn 5 extra points! It’s like getting a special prize for being really good at the game. So be on the lookout for these special cards and make the most of their bonus power!
Change the Game with Change Rage!
Have you ever wished you could change the rules of the game? Well, the Change Rage Card gives you that power! When you play this card, you get to look through the Trump Deck and find a Trump Card that is a different color. That card becomes the new Trump Card for the rest of the round. It’s like a magical reset button that lets you shake things up!
Beware of Mad Rage!
Things can get a little crazy when a Mad Rage Card is played. If you win a trick with this card in play, you actually lose 5 points! It’s like the game is playing tricks on you. So be careful and try to avoid winning tricks when this card is in play. It’s better to let someone else take the fall!
Unleash Your Wild Side with Wild Rage!
When you play a Wild Rage Card, you get to pick any color for it. This card is special because it’s the highest scoring card of that color, even if someone else has played another Wild Rage Card.
GAME OVER
The game is over after we’ve played 10 rounds. Then, I’ll add up the points for each player and announce the winner!
