Tap 4 – Card Game

Description

TAP4

2–8 Players | Ages 7+ | 15–30 Minutes

Overview: Fast, tactical card game where the aim is to be first to discard all your cards each round. Play cards equal to or lower than the top of the central Stack, using cards from your hand or from the table, and use sets or special cards to claim the Stack and keep your turn.

How to play:

• First player leads by placing a card (often their highest point card).
• On your turn play a card equal to or lower in value than the Stack’s top card.
• You may play from your hand or any cards already on the table.
• Complete a set of 4+ identical cards or play a “TAP IN” card, shout “TAPPED” (and optionally tap the table), remove the Stack from play, and continue your turn.

Special cards:

• TAP IN — wild card that lets you steal the Stack.
• TAPPED OUT — passed to a player to make them lose their next turn.
• Other Trick cards may alter turn order or stack rules (as defined in the deck).

Winning and scoring:

• First player to get rid of all cards wins the round.
• Play multiple rounds; lowest cumulative score at the end is the overall TAP4 champion.

Quick to learn, lively to play — great for families and larger groups.
