Description
In Line-it, a thrilling card - game, players build ascending or descending lines of numbered cards to score points. You'll face a tough decision: play it safe and bank your points to start a new line or take risks to add more cards and win the jackpot! The deck includes four - colored cards numbered 1 - 100 and six 'Bet' cards numbered 3 - 5. Shuffle the deck and lay out cards in the market, two more than the number of players. Each player picks a card, then can start a line, add it to their line, or keep it in hand. Your hand can hold a maximum of two cards. If you can't add a card to your hand or line without breaking the pattern, score your line and start a new one. You can add a Bet card to your line regardless of its status or end - card value. After drafting a card, you can play a hand - card into your line and choose to score it. When scoring with a Bet card, check if you've added enough cards after the bet to meet its value. If so, get a positive token; otherwise, flip it to the negative side. Then, discard three cards from the line, flip the rest face - down, and put them in your scoring pile. After everyone drafts, plays, and scores, discard unchosen Bet cards and place unchosen number cards under the matching jackpot token. If you add the third card of a color to your line, claim the cards under the jackpot token. When there aren't enough cards to lay out, players play a hand - card, score their lines, and tally points. You earn 1 point per scored card and gain/lose points from Bet tokens. The player with the highest score wins!
