## Rules (defaults)

- 150 cards: five -2, ten -1, fifteen 0, and ten of each value from 1 to 12.
- Each player gets 12 face-down cards in a 3 × 4 grid and flips 2 of them before the first turn.
- On your turn, either take the top discard and swap it with one of your cards, or draw a card and swap it, or discard it and flip one of your face-down cards.
- Three face-up cards of the same value in a column: the column is discarded.
- When a player has flipped all 12 cards, every other player has one last turn, then all cards are revealed and counted.
- The player who ended the round has their round score doubled if it is positive and not strictly the lowest.
- The game ends when a player reaches 100 points or more; the lowest total wins.
- The host can change the target score, time per turn, grid size, cards flipped at the start, identical rows, the round-score display and the finisher's penalty.
