🎮 How to Play

🃏 1. Set Up Your Hand

Deal the cards to each player. You cannot rearrange the order of cards in your hand—this is one of the key challenges of Scout.

🎯 2. Choose Your Move

On your turn, you can either Play or Scout.

⚡ 3. Play a Combination

Play one or more adjacent cards from your hand as a combination.

You can play combinations such as:

• A single card
• A pair
• Three or more matching cards
• A sequence of consecutive cards

The combination must beat the previous combination according to the game's rules.

🔎 4. Scout

Instead of playing, you can Scout by taking a card from another player's displayed combination and adding it to your hand.

The card you take can be placed into your hand without rearranging the existing cards.

🔄 5. Scout & Show

After scouting, you may gain an opportunity to use the newly acquired card while keeping the rest of your hand intact.

This creates clever tactical decisions about when to improve your hand and when to attack with a stronger combination.

🏆 6. Score Points

Players earn points for successfully playing cards and for cards they have collected through scouting.

Be careful—cards left in your hand can count against your score.

🎉 7. Win the Round

The round ends when a player successfully gets rid of their cards or the game reaches its end condition.

After scoring, play additional rounds as required by the rules.

The player with the highest total score wins!
