How to play Idiot

Objective

Get rid of all your cards — hand, then face-up, then face-down. The last player holding cards loses.

Setup

• Each player gets three face-down cards, three face-up cards on top of them, and three cards in hand.
• You may swap hand cards with your face-up cards before play begins.

Rules

1. Play a card equal to or higher than the top of the pile, then draw back up to three while the stock lasts.
2. A 2 resets the pile — anything may be played next.
3. A 10 burns the pile entirely and you play again.
4. Four of the same rank in a row also burns the pile.
5. If you can't play, pick up the whole pile.

Strategy tips

• Keep 2s and 10s as escape hatches for a high pile.
• Put your highest cards face up — they're your safety net.
• Don't dump all your low cards early; you'll get stuck behind a King.
