GAME INSTRUCTIONS
NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 2 to 8
AGES: 8+
EQUIPMENT: One RAGE deck of 110 cards as follows – 6 colored sets of 16 cards
(numbered 0 to 15 – red, green, purple, orange, yellow and blue), and 16 Action
cards (2 Wild Rage, 4 Change Rage, 4 Out Rage, 2 Bonus Rage and 2 Mad Rage).
OBJECT: Be the player with the highest score by accurately bidding on the
number of tricks you will win per round.
SETUP: Choose a player to be scorekeeper and write the names of the players
along the top of the score sheet (see attached score sheet). Choose someone to
be the first dealer.Then the cards are shuffled and 10 cards are dealt to each
player. After each round, the player on the dealer’s left becomes the new dealer.
DEAL: In the first round, each player is dealt ten cards.With each card, a player
could win a trick. In the second round, each player is dealt nine cards. In the third
round, each player is dealt eight cards, then seven cards, etc., until the tenth and
final round when each player receives only one card.
After the deal, the remaining cards are placed face down in the middle of the table
to form the Trump Pile.The top card from this stack is turned over and placed on
top of the pile.This card determines the trump color for the current round. If an
Action Card is turned over, continue to turn over cards until a colored card is
revealed.
BIDDING: After the players have sorted their cards by color and value, each player
considers how many tricks they plan to win this round ranging from zero to the total
number of cards in hand. Bidding begins with the player to the dealer’s left. Each
player states aloud their bid.The score keeper writes the bids on the score sheet.

• CHANGE RAGE: When this card is played, the player immediately
searches the Trump Pile and places a new color card of their choice
as the trump color on top of the trump pile.The new color must be
a different color than the previous trump.The new card determines
the trump color for this and any further tricks.The previous trump
color is no longer valid for this trick.

WILD RAGE: When the Wild Rage is played, the player must announce
what color it will be.The selected color may be the trump color.Wild
Rage is considered to be the highest value of the color it is called out to
be. If both Wild Rages are played in a single trick and are called the same
color, the second Wild Rage is considered to be of a lower value than the
first.

Player A’s hand
Player B’s hand
Player C’s hand
In round seven, Player C deals only four cards to all players. Each player reviews
their cards to predict the number of tricks they hope to win. Player A announces
that they will win two tricks. Player B believes that they will win two tricks. Finally,
Player C claims to win one. Player A, who is to the left of the dealer, leads.
Trick One:
15
Player A chooses to lead with a Blue 15. Player B does not have
any blue cards, so may play any card from their hand. Player B
chooses to play the Yellow 0 (the trump suit). Currently, Player B
is winning the trick with the trump card. Player C plays a Blue 2
because he must follow suit of the leading card (the Blue 15).
The trick is now complete and Player B wins (Player B’s yellow 0
may be a low value card, but because it is a trump card it still
beats the other cards played). Since Player B won the trick, they
get to lead (start) the next trick.

Trick Two:

Player B leads this trick with a Green 10. Player C doesn’t have
any Green cards and may play any card from their hand. Player
C plays the Change Rage card. At which point, Player C searches
through the Trump Pile and places a Red card on top of the
Trump Pile as the new trump suit. Player A has to follow with
the Green 12 (matching the suit that led). Having the highest
value card of the suit that was led, Player A wins this trick.

Trick Three:
+5
Player A leads the third trick with the Bonus Rage card. Seeing
as that the trick was led with an Action card, Player B can play
any card from their hand. This will determine the lead color for
this trick.They play the Orange 7, which is currently winning
the trick. Player C trumps the Orange 7 with a Red 15. Player C
wins the trick and will lead the final trick. Player C will note that
they received a Bonus Rage card for winning this trick.

Trick Four:
Player C leads with their last card, an Out Rage Action card.
Immediately, the red trump card is turned over to indicate that
there is no trump for the rest of the round. Player A lays down
the Yellow 5 card. Player B follows up with a Wild Rage card.
Noting that there is not a trump color any more, Player B
declares that the Wild Rage card is of the same color that was
led, yellow, and wins the final trick. (Recall that the Wild Rage is
considered to be the highest value of the color it is called out
to be).

EXAMPLE OF SCORING:
Using the example of play as noted previously, Player A did not accurately bid and
only took one of the two tricks they had hoped to win (+0).They do not get any
points for bidding, but they do get one point for the single trick they won.This
makes their score for the round one point (0 + 1 = 1). Player B did take the number
of tricks that they predicted they would (+10). For winning two tricks, they receive
two more points.Therefore, Player B gets twelve points for the round (10 + 2 = 12).
Player C accurately bid one trick (+10).They also receive one point for the single
trick they won. In that trick, there was the Bonus Rage Action card, an extra 5 point
bonus. For this round, Player C scored sixteen points (10 + 1 + 5 = 16).
WINNING: The game ends after ten rounds.The final round is scored.The player
with the highest score is the winner. In the case of a tie, the player who had the
most rounds in which they bid correctly is the winner.

VARIANTS
• ACTION CARD VARIANT: A player may play an Action card even if they have a
card in their hand that follows suit.
• Each player writes their bid on a piece of paper.The bids are only disclosed after
the last trick of the round is taken.Therefore, it is unclear during the round how
many tricks each player would like to win.
• If a player wins all the tricks in a round, they receive two points for each trick
taken, instead of only one.This does not count in the last round where there is
only one trick.
