Q&A Comments (4)
Can you play with 7 people?
The recommendation is 3-6 players. If you play with more than 6 you will have fewer revealed matches/cascades, so you'll be missing out on a great aspect of the game. But, yes, you can play with as many people as you want!
Do there have to be two decks for draw piles or one deck?
It is suggested that you split the deck into two draw piles so that all players can easily reach at least one of the draw piles.
How long does the wild card stay in play?
The wild card stays in play in the center of the table until it is covered by the next wild card drawn by a player. When there is a wild card in the middle of the table it is always in play, but it only causes a face-off when both of its symbols appear on top of two players' play piles.
