What is an active player?
If you haven’t Busted or decided to Stay, you’re an active player!
While resolving a Flip 3 card, you draw a Second Chance card. You do not have a Second Chance card already from a previous turn. May you keep the newly drawn Second Chance card?
Yes
You may keep the newly drawn Second Chance card, and you may use this card if needed later in the same Flip 3 process to stop yourself from busting.
While flipping cards during the resolution of a Flip 3 card, on your first or second draw, you draw a card that completes a Flip 7 for you. Must you still draw further cards?
No
Upon completion of a Flip 7, the round ends immediately for you and everyone else. No further cards are drawn.
A Flip 3 card is given away and resolved. Whose turn is it next to be asked by the dealer “Hit or Stay”?
It is the turn of the player who is immediately clockwise after the player who initially got the Flip 3 card. That is, the dealer should remember which player initially got dealt the Flip 3 card; after the Flip 3 card is resolved, the dealer should then ask “Hit or stay?” to the player who is clockwise next in turn after the player who initially got dealt the Flip 3 card.
During the initial deal of one card to everyone, you are dealt a Flip 3. How is this handled?
You must use the card right away. You can keep it for yourself if you wish, in which case you resolve the card immediately (i.e. you flip new cards until you reach three cards or you go bust). Or if you wish, you can give the Flip 3 to any other player, in which case that player resolves the card immediately.
While flipping cards during the resolution of a Flip 3 card, you draw a Freeze card. What happens?
The Freeze card is set aside until the Flip 3 has been completed. If the player goes bust or completes a Flip 7, then the Freeze card is discarded. Otherwise, after the Flip 3 is completed, the player assigns the Freeze card to any active player. (If this player is the only active player remaining, then this player must give the Freeze card to himself / herself.)
While flipping cards during the resolution of a Flip 3 card, you draw another Flip 3 card. What happens?
The new Flip 3 card is set aside until the initial Flip 3 has been completed, i.e. until three cards have been successfully drawn, or the flipping player goes bust or achieves a Flip 7. (The newly drawn Flip 3 card counts toward the target of three cards drawn.) If the player goes bust, then the newly drawn Flip 3 card is NOT used; discard it instead. If the player completes a Flip 7, then the round ends immediately for all players, and the newly drawn Flip 3 card is discarded. If the initial Flip 3 card is completed without busting or achieving a Flip 7, then the second Flip 3 card that had been set aside is now used. The player can choose to resolve the second Flip 3 card himself or herself straight away, or the player can choose to give the card away to another active player, who then resolves it immediately.
You receive a Freeze or Flip 3 card, but you are the only active player left in the round. Do you have to apply this card to yourself?
You have used a Second Chance card to neutralize a number card that would have busted you. Is your turn done?
Yes
Your turn is done, but you are still in the round. The dealer should ask “Hit or stay?” to the next person in order.
You get dealt a Freeze card. Can you use a Freeze card on yourself if you wish?
During the initial deal of one card to everyone, you are dealt a Freeze card. Do you give this card to another player right away?
Yes
You must use it right away and you can give it to any player, even one who has not yet been dealt their first card by the dealer.
There is a tie for highest score greater than or equal to 200. What do we do?
Everyone (not just the tied players) plays another round. The person with the highest score after this new round wins.
