Phase 10

🎯 Goal of the Game

Be the first poor bastard to complete all 10 phases.
Everyone else gets to watch and cope.

▶️ Ways to Play

Pick Your Poison

1️⃣ Traditional Play (For Whiny Purists)

• Everyone starts grinding on Phase 1
• Phases must be completed in order — no skipping ahead, assholes
• Fail your phase? → Congrats, you're doing it again next round
• First player to finish Phase 10 wins
• Tie? Lowest score wins, stop crying

2️⃣ Free-For-All Play (House Rules for Chaos Junkies)

• Each round, pick any unfinished phase
• Complete it? → It's locked in and off the board
• Optional dick move:
  • Declare your phase upfront
  • No two players can chase the same phase
• First player to complete 10 different phases wins
• Tie? Lowest score, deal with it

▶️ Setup

Don't Fuck This Up

• Shuffle the deck like you mean it
• Deal 10 cards to each cheating-prone asshole
• Remaining cards = draw pile
• Flip one card to start the discard pile

▶️ Turn Order

All Modes — Follow or Get Skipped

On your turn:

1. Draw one card — Draw pile or top of discard — don't overthink it
2. Lay down your phase (if your dumb ass can)
3. Hit (optional) — Slap cards onto any completed phase on the table. Yours or someone else's — no loyalty here
4. Discard one card — Turn ends, next victim

🏁 Ending a Round

• One player empties their hand → Round over
• That lucky bastard scores 0 points
• Everyone else:
  • Counts the trash left in their hand
  • Adds those points to their shame pile

Good Luck, Morons

🧮 Scoring

Lower Score = Less of a Loser

Only cards left in your hand hurt you.

⭐ Special Cards

Your Dirty Weapons

🃏 Wild

• Pretends to be any number or color
• Works in sets or runs
• Worth 25 points if you choke and keep it

🚫 Skip

• Pick a player → they lose their next turn
• Can't be used in phases
• Worth 15 points if you're too stupid to play it

💾 Optional House Rule: Save Card

Your Personal Stash of Bullshit

What You Can Save

• Any card
• Smart players save Wilds or Skips
• Saving number cards is legal… just dumb

Saving a Card

• On any of your turns, you may move one card to your personal Save Pile
• You may save once per phase
• Saved card is out of play, does not count toward your hand
• Scores 0 points while saved

Using a Saved Card

• At the start of any future round, pull one saved card into your hand
• Limits: One saved card per round
