Get ready to dive into the captivating world of Number Chain, where quick thinking and strategic play are your keys to victory!

In this fast-paced card game, your mission is simple: rid yourself of cards as swiftly as you can by chaining numbers together! Each player begins with a hand filled with two-digit cards, featuring some numbers and a few wildcards represented by a question mark (?). These wildcards allow you to choose any digit, adding an exciting twist to your gameplay.

Set the stage by placing three cards face up in the pool and one card on the floor to establish the pivot number. But beware! The game introduces a unique condition tile to spice things up, influencing your strategy as you play.

On your turn, you have the freedom to play as many cards from your hand as you like, provided the first digit on your card matches the last digit of the floor card—known as the "pivot." Arrange your cards however you wish on the floor, with the top card becoming the new pivot for future turns.

Chaining three consecutive numbers allows you to play them irrespective of the current floor card, granting you an extra turn to maximize your elimination of cards. Feeling stuck? You can always draw from the pool or the top of the deck to replenish your hand, ensuring options are always at your fingertips.

Need a reset? Simply take all three pool cards into your hand and flip the condition tile. When the tile changes to the relay side, you can play cards one by one, matching the first digit of your played card to the last digit of the new floor card. This clever mechanic could help you empty your hand in spectacular fashion!

As soon as one player successfully empties their hand, the game shifts gears for everyone else. Players must strategize to play or chain cards until no further moves are possible. Keep in mind that wildcards still in hand are worth 3 points each, while non-wild cards carry a value of 1 point.

After three thrilling rounds, the player with the fewest points emerges as the ultimate champion of Number Chain! Gather your friends and family, and prepare for an unforgettable experience filled with excitement, strategy, and of course, number chaining!
