SKIP CARDS: Skip cards have only one purpose: to cause another player to lose a turn. To use, simply discard the “Skip” card on your turn, then choose the player who will lose a turn.
•When you draw a “Skip” card, you may discard it immediately or save it for a later turn.
•A “Skip” card may never be used in making Phase 8, or any other Phase.
•A “Skip” card may never be picked up from the discard pile. •Only one “Skip” card against each player per “round” may
be used.
•When someone is skipped, a “round” is once around the table.
•If the dealer starts the discard pile with a “Skip” card, the first player’s first turn is automatically skipped.
MAKING A PHASE:
If, during your turn, you are able to make a Phase with the cards in your hand, lay the Phase down,

before discarding. For example, you are trying to make Phase
1.You have 3 “5s” and 2 “7s” and you draw another “7.” You now have 2 sets of 3, and you may lay them down. In the next hand, you will be working on Phase 2.
•You must have the entire Phase in hand before laying it down.
•You may lay down more than the minimum requirements of a Phase, but only if the additional cards can be directly added to the cards already in the Phase.
EXAMPLES: You lay down 3 “5s” and 3 “7s” to make Phase
1.You have two more “5s” in hand and can immediately lay them down with the 3 ”5s,” all in the same turn. Another player making Phase 1 lays down 3 “6s” and 3 “8s.” The player also has 3 “10s” in hand, but cannot lay them down because Phase 1 requires exactly 2 sets. Thus, the player can only add more “6s” and “8s” to the Phase made of “6s” and “8s.”
