Players attempt to get rid of all the cards in their hand. The roll of two dice determines what you can do on your turn:Dice Total 1 through 6 = Discard a card, discard a run of 1-2-3-4 in the same color, or play an action card.Dice Total 7 = Discard a card [i]and[/i] give one card to another player.Dice Total 8 through 12 = Draw a card from the deck or discard pile.Rolling doubles gives you twice the reward/penalty as you can discard 2 cards, or you have to draw 2 cards.Action cards are all different ways of adding more cards to a specific opponents hand. - BoardGameGeek
