INTRODUCTION TO PHASE 10

Phase 10 is somewhat like Uno but is more closely related to Liverpool Rummy. In Phase 10, there are 10 different matches or phases that must be fulfilled in order to win the game. This game was invented in 1982 by Kenneth R. Johnson and is now sold by Mattel. Like Uno, you are trying to shed all the cards in your hand, however, unlike Uno, this is done through melding cards into phases. 메이저놀이터추천

THE CARDS

A Phase 10 box consists of 110 cards: 2 reference cards, 24 x 4 number cards in red, blue, yellow, and green, numbering from 1-12 twice. There are also 4 Skip cards and 8 Wild cards in the deck.

Skip Card: This card forces the next player in the rotation to forfeit their turn. If it is the first card flipped over, the first player loses a turn.

Wild Card: These cards can represent any other card in a phase. However, it can not be reused.

PHASES

A Phase is a set of particular cards that fulfill the criteria for a particular phase. The cards must be revealed flat on the table for others to see. If you can not complete a phase in a single hand you must try again the next hand, you can not jump around phases. The hand is finished when at least one player either forms a phase or discards all their cards in hand. According to the official Phase 10 rules, the phases are as follows:

Phase 1: 2 sets of 3 cards (two 3 of a kind)

Phase 2: 1 set of 3 card & 1 run (sequence) of 4 cards

Phase 3: 1 set of 4 cards & 1 run of 4 cards

Phase 4: 1 run of 7 cards

Phase 5: 1 run of 8 cards

Phase 6: 1 run of 9 cards

Phase 7: 2 sets of 4 cards

Phase 8: 7 cards of 1 color

Phase 9: 1 set of 5 cards & 1 set of 2 cards

Phase 10: 1 set of 5 cards & 1 set of 3 cards

Set: A set is a group of cards of the same number, color does not matter.

Run: A run is a sequential set of cards, i.e. a run of 7: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Color does not matter.
