•Only one Phase can be made per hand.
•If you successfully make a Phase, then you try to make the
next Phase in the next hand. If you fail to make a Phase,
you must try to make the same Phase again in the next
hand. As a result, players may not all be working on the
same Phase in the same hand.
•Phases must be made IN ORDER, from 1 to 10. For
example, a player trying to make Phase 4 (1 run of 7) lays
down a run of 9 cards. This qualifies as 1 run of 7 for
Phase 4, but can’t be used as credit for either Phase 5
(1 run of 8) or Phase 6 (1 run of 9).
•You receive credit for making a Phase as soon as you lay it
down. You do not need to win the hand in order to receive
credit for the Phase. Several players will often complete a
Phase in the same hand.
HITTING
:
Hitting is the way to get rid of leftover cards after making a
Phase. You make a hit by putting a card directly on a Phase
already laid down. The card must properly fit with the cards
already down.
EXAMPLES: You may add one or more “4s” to a player’s
existing set of “4s.” You may add a “2” to a player’s existing
run of “3,” “4,” “5,” “6.” You may also add a “7” and an
“8” to this run, if you have them. You may add one or more
green cards to a player’s seven green cards in Phase 8. You
may also add a “Wild” card of any color to any of these card
situations. Before you can make a hit, your own Phase must
already be laid down. You may hit only during your turn. You
may hit your own cards, another player’s cards, or both.
GOING OUT / FINISHING A HAND:
After laying down a Phase, players try to “go out” as soon
as possible. To go out, you must get rid of all of your cards
by discarding or hitting on an existing Phase. The player to
go out first wins the hand. The winner of the hand, and any
other players who also complete their Phase, will advance to
