How to play

Get rid of all your cards. The last player still holding any is the shithead.

Your cards

Everyone gets three cards face down, three face up on top of them, and three in hand. Before play starts you can swap hand cards with your face-up cards, so save your best for later.

On your turn

Play a card that matches or beats the top of the pile. Aces are high.
Got two or more of the same rank? Play them together.
While the deck lasts, your hand is topped back up to three.
Can't play, or don't want to? Pick up the whole pile.

Special cards

2 resets. Goes on anything. The next player can play anything.
7 goes low. It only goes on a 7 or lower itself. After it, the next player must play a 7 or lower, or a 2, 8 or 10.
8 is invisible. Goes on anything. The next player plays on the card underneath it.
10 burns. Goes on anything. The pile is thrown away and you go again.

Four of a kind burns too. If the top four cards of the pile are the same rank, whoever laid the fourth burns the pile and goes again.

The end game

Once the deck is gone and your hand is empty, play your face-up cards. When those are gone, flip your face-down cards one at a time without looking. If the flipped card doesn't play, you pick up the pile and that card with it.
