Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Action cards — Some Karma cards are action cards which have special effects like giving the pile to a friend, playing a table card, moving the bottom card up, or forcing the next player to play a card of five or below.
- Hand Management — Players have a hand of cards and play them to a discard pile. They must play a card with the same or higher value than the top card of the discard. Players must draw back up to have at least three cards in hand.
- Push Your Luck — When the draw pile runs out, players start playing cards from the table. When playing face down cards, players hope luck is on their side or they'll pick up the discard pile.
- Set Collection (implied) — Ability to play doubles or triples of the same number. If the top three cards in the discard pile are the same, the discard pile is removed from the game.
