The objective is to be the first to get rid of your cards. People get any number of cards, based on how many are playing. If there are 3 players, each get 18 cards.

Basic rules:

the order from smallest in value to highest in value is: 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K,A,2, black joker, red joker.

The player with the three of clubs starts off, and people follow in his/her steps. The player who goes after must put out a combination of cards greater in value than the player before.

Combinations:

Single card-- a single card is put out, and people follow. If a three is put out, then the next player needs a four or higher, etc. This continues until no one has anything higher or does not want to put out something higher.

You can also have pairs of cards--like two jacks, two kings, etc. If this is put out, then the other players must have a higher pair in order to make a move. You can also have pairs that connect. You can have a pair of 3's connected with a pair of 4's. Or, you can have 3's, 4's, 5's, and 6's.

There is another combo where you can have a triplet of anything combined with a pair of anything. Ex. 333 and 55. When other players make their move their triplet must be bigger than the previous triplet.

There is also a single card connection. you can have a combo like 3-4-5-6-7. The only rule is that you must have 5 connecting cards or more. So, you cannot do 3-4-5. you must have at least 5. When other players follow, their lowest card in the order must be higher than the lowest of the previous one.

There is also a 4 of a kind thing, that is nicknamed a "bomb" If you put out this, along with any single card, it is bigger than any combo. There are also low bombs and high bombs. Four 3's isn't as good as four 2's.

The whole objective is to get rid of your cards, moving in turns. When you are the player who closes a round, you get to make the opening move the next round, which poses an advantage.

if anyone knows what this game is, please help. It was fun playing it, but no one has any idea what the name of the game is. lol Thanks for your help
