Contents.Objective The object of the game is to be the first person to complete all ten phases. In the case of two players completing the last phase in the same hand, the player who completed the last phase with the lowest overall score is the winner. If those scores also happen to be tied, a tiebreaker round is played where the tying players attempt to complete phase ten (or in variants, the last phase each player had tried to complete in the previous round).For each hand, each player's object is to complete and lay down the current phase, and then rid their hand of remaining cards by discarding them on laid-down Phases, called 'hitting'. The player who does this first wins the hand and scores no penalty; all other players earn penalty points according to the value of cards remaining in their hand.There are one hundred and eight cards in a deck:.

ninety-six numbered cards: two of each value from one through twelve, in each of four colors. Therefore, there are 24 cards of each color and eight of each value. eight Wild cards;. four Skip cards;With two regular decks of cards, the suits can represent the four different colors, kings can represent the wild cards, and jokers can represent the skip cards.Special cards.

Wild: A 'Wild' card may be used in place of a number card and can be used as any color to complete any phase. Original print runs of Phase 10 had two Wilds in each color; to reduce confusion, current print runs use black Wilds. More than one “Wild” card may be used in completing a Phase. Players can use as many “Wild” cards as they want as long as they use one. Once a 'Wild' card has been played in a Phase, it cannot be replaced by the intended card and used elsewhere. It must remain as that card until the hand is over.

If the dealer starts the discard pile with a 'Wild' card, the card may be picked up by the first player. A 'Wild' card may not be used as a 'skip' card. Skip: Skip cards have only one purpose: to cause another player to lose a turn.

To use, a player discards the 'Skip' card on their turn and chooses the player who will lose a turn. When a 'Skip' card is drawn it may be discarded immediately or saved for a later turn. A 'Skip' card may never be picked up from the discard pile. A 'Skip' card cannot be used to complete any phase, including Phase 8 (seven cards of one color). The original print runs of Phase 10 had blue Skip cards, causing confusion with normal blue cards in deck; Skip cards are now black in current editions.

Any player can be skipped, not just the person who would normally play next. A player cannot be skipped twice in the same round; they must lose turn in the round before being skipped again. (They can be skipped twice in a row but not until they miss their turn.). If the first card that starts the discard pile is a 'skip' card then the first players first turn is skipped.Phases A phase is a combination of cards. Phases are usually composed of sets (multiple cards of the same value), runs (multiple cards in consecutive ascending order), cards of one color, or a combination of these.

Problem is nobody is online with this game at all.If it's anything like the 360 version it must be great. But they did give a nice amount of DLC although a bit pricey. Race 07 mods. I wish they didn't just abandon us 360 users like that with just this one title. I do have a few gripes though.

Only play if you have absolutely nothing to do in the next 4 to 5 hours.Enjoy!Super Wild Phase 10A variation of the 'Masters Edition' of Phase 10, contributed by Jeff PresleyThe Masters Edition of Phase 10 includes two additional rules:. Players can choose which Phase to attempt on each deal, based on the cards they are dealt. Once in each deal, a player can 'save' a card by discarding it into a private 'save' pile instead of the central discard pile.

These cards are stored from deal to deal. At the start of a turn, a player can retrieve any card from their 'save' pile into their hand instead of drawing from the stock or discard pile.Jeff Presley's group has modified these rules by marking one of the existing wild cards as 'Super Wild' and one of the existing skip cards as 'Super Skip'. Playing a normal Skip card either skips the next player or reverses the direction of play - the player of the card chooses which. Playing the 'Super Skip' card skips everyone else and thus give the holder another turn immediately. This card counts 25 points if left in a player's hand at the end. The 'Super Wild' card counts 50 points and can be used as two wild cards.The contracts are:.
