Minus Two
A twelve-card grid. Flip, swap and clear columns to go low. 2–8 players.
How to play Minus Two
- 1Cards run from -2 to 12. Everyone gets twelve cards face down in three rows of four. Start by turning any two face up; whoever shows the highest total goes first.
- 2On your turn, draw from the deck or take the top discard. Swap it for any card in your grid (that card goes face up on the discard pile). A card drawn from the deck may be discarded instead, but then you must turn one of your face-down cards over.
- 3Three face-up cards of the same number in one column are cleared away and score nothing.
- 4Once someone’s grid is all face up, everyone else gets one last turn. Then every card is revealed and added up.
- 5Whoever ended the round must have the lowest score, strictly. If they don’t and their score is above zero, it doubles.
- 6When someone reaches 100 points, the game ends and the lowest total wins.
- 7If a round drags on past 40 turns each, it ends where it stands and every card is scored.
