Color Rush: how to play

Match colour or symbol, use action cards, be first to empty your hand.

Everyone starts with 7 cards. On your turn, play a card that matches the top card's colour or symbol, or draw one. Be first to get rid of all your cards.

Cards

Card Effect
⊘ Skip The next player misses a turn.
⇄ Reverse Play changes direction (with 2 players it acts as a Skip).
+2 The next player draws 2 and misses their turn.
★ Wild Play on anything; choose the colour.
+4 Wild Choose the colour; the next player draws 4 and misses their turn.

If you draw a card you can play, you may play it right away or keep it.

House rules (room settings)

  • Stacking: answer a +2 with a +2 (or a +4) and pass the total on.
  • 7-0: playing a 7 swaps hands with a player of your choice; a 0 passes every hand round the table.
  • Draw until you can play.
  • Points to 500: when someone goes out they score the cards left in other hands (numbers face value, actions 20, wilds 50). First to 500 wins.
