But if you draw from the draw deck and cannot match two sets of cards, you must put the card on the Joker. You can do this two ways: One, by taking multiple cards from the grid only, or drawing one card from the draw deck and matching with the grid. On each wall is a face-up card, and you have to match two sets of cards with opposite colors and with the same card value in order to reduce the wall. The goal of the game is to break down one of the side walls so the Joker can be free! Every other spot in the grid is a wall, and every orthogonally adjacent spot to the Joker is a side wall. A 3×3 play area is formed, with an empty spot where the Joker lies. You are responsible for helping the Joker break through thick prison walls.

May the bogey be ever in your favor!Ĭard Capture Image credit: Time: 15-30 minutes A simple rule set inspires surprising depth in strategy. You can choose whether to play the card in an existing stack or play a new stack, but often you are forced to make very inconvenient moves.īefore long, you’ll be cursing the bogey for his shenanigans, unless you were able to plan ahead. Well, there’s a rather mischievous twist: at the end of your turn, the “bogey” draws a card from the draw pile and forces you to play that card into the play area. You are permitted to skip some numbers when creating your stacks. Using cards you draw from the draw pile, you can create new stacks, discard cards in your hand, or place down a card in an existing stack.
