If a player uses a 'Skip' card against another player, no other player can use another 'Skip' card against that player until that player's turn has been skipped. A 'Skip' card may never be picked up from the discard pile. A 'Skip' card may never be used in making Phase 8, or any other Phase for that matter. When a player draws a 'Skip' card, the player may discard it immediately or save it for a later turn. The player who discards the 'Skip' card chooses the player who loses their turn. When discarded, a 'Skip' card causes another player to lose their next turn. Once a 'Wild' card has been played as a certain card in a Phase, it cannot be replaced by the intended card and used elsewhere, but must remain as that card until the hand is over. NOTE: More than one 'Wild' card may be used in completing a Phase. Or, a player has 6 green cards, and uses a 'Wild' card as a green card, to complete Phase 8. The player uses a 'Wild' card as a '5' to complete the run. A player wants to make a run of 4, but only has cards '3', '4', and '6'. A 'Wild' card also maybe used as any color, to complete Phase 8.Р”В®xamples. A 'Wild' card may be used in place of a number card in order to complete a Phase. Phase 8 requires 7 cards of one color, which could be 7 red cards or 7 green cards, etc. The cards are all the same color.Р”В®xample. The cards can be in any combination of colors. Part of Phase 2 requires a run of 4, which could be '3', '4', '5', '6'. A run is made of four or more cards numbered in order.Р”В®xample. Phase 1 consists of 2 sets of 3, which could be 3 '7's' and 3 '10's'. A set is made of two or more cards with the same number showing on their face.Р”В®xamle. Phases are made of sets, runs, cards all of one color, or a combination of sets and runs. Each player can make only one Phase during the play of a hand. Play of the first hand begins, with each player trying to complete the first Phase of the 10 Phases. The player ends the turn by discarding one card of choice onto the discard pile. In turn, a player draws one card - either the top card from the draw pile or the top card from the discard pile - and adds it to the player's hand. Play begins with the player to the left of the dealer, and progresses to the left.

The top card of the draw pile is turned over and placed next to the draw pile, to become the discard pile. The remaining deck is placed face down in the center of the play area, to become the draw pile. Players hold their 10 cards in hand, so that other players cannot see them. One player is chosen to be the dealer, who shuffles the deck and deals out a hand of 10 cards, one at a time and face down, to each player. In case of a tie, the player with the lowest score is the winner. The object of the game is to be the first player to complete all 10 Phases. Taught in sixty seconds and played for years to come, Phase 10 is truly a classic card game no one should be without!Р”Вirections courtesy of Future Aids, The Braille Superstore. Young and old really do enjoy this game, and no one is ever left out.

Planning a long car trip, or a family gathering? Try getting everyone involved in a fast-paced game of cards. Have the kids play together on a rainy afternoon, or during a picnic at the park. Each printed card has its color and number marked in Braille on two corners, so blind and sighted players alike can play this great game together. This deck includes 108 high-quality, brand-name cards, packed in a hard plastic case for safe-keeping. A game of Phase Ten is never over until the final phase is done. The varrying requirements of each phase, coupled with the Wild and Skip cards, add a level of unpredictibility to each and every hand. You see, the phases get more and more complicated, often giving players who were lagging behind a chance to catch up - and make a surprise come-from-behind win. Players left with cards in their hand are penalized with points - and those unfortunate enough not to have laid down any cards must repeat the phase. As soon as a player lays down all ten of his cards, the phase is over. Then, players race to complete the phase - making runs, sets, or combinations of the two. At the beginning of every phase, each player is dealt ten cards. The concept is simple, but the intertainment value is endless!Р”В«riefly, in order to win, you must make ten different pairs of cards.

Anyone can learn to play, from young kids to elderly grandfathers, and everyone will enjoy it. Product DescriptionPhase 10 may very well be the most versatile card game you've ever come across.
