Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Bounce — If the newly drawn card matches an existing one in your grid, you can bounce it and place it elsewhere.
- Card draw from face-down, draw piles or discard piles — On your turn you draw a card either from the face-down pile or one of the two discard piles and then flip over one of your cards.
- Grid placement with replacement and matching — You place cards into a grid and can replace either a face-down or face-up card using a drawn card; negatives are the goal.
- Hazards and end-of-round scoring — Certain cards (hazards) and the end of a round influence scoring across rounds; players aim for negative points.
- Mulligan wildcard — A mulligan card counts as any number and can count differently for the row and the column (wild).
- Throwing/Bouncing/Flipping — If the newly drawn card matches an existing one in your grid, you can bounce it and place it elsewhere.
