Easy Peasy

In Easy Peasy, get rid of your cards and end the round when you think you have the lowest score... But be careful, you don't know all your cards! Will you take the time to reveal them?

How It Works

The Setup: Each player is dealt 8 cards: 4 in their hand and 4 placed in a personal row on the table (2 face up, stacked on top of 2 face down).

The Goal: Shed all the cards from either your hand or your row to trigger the end of the round.

The Main Action: On your turn, you must play a card from your hand or your face-up row onto one of the two central discard piles.

The Twist: You must follow the central indicator card, which dictates whether play is going "UP" (ascending values) or "DOWN" (descending values).

Core Strategies

Triggering Bonus Actions: If you play a card that matches the color of the top card on the discard pile, you get a bonus action. You can use this to play another matching card or flip a face-down card in your row to reveal its value. You can chain multiple bonus actions together to empty your hand rapidly.

Manipulating the Flow: If you cannot play a valid card, or choose not to, you must flip the indicator from UP to DOWN (or vice-versa), draw two cards, and then make a valid play. This is an essential tactical move to stall your opponents if they are about to run out of cards.

Scoring Trap: When the round ends, players calculate the point total of their hand and their row separately—but your score is the higher of the two totals. Furthermore, if you trigger the end of the round but do not actually have the lowest point total at the table, your final score for that round is doubled.
