LENGTH

To score points in LENGTH, you care only about the number of cards that you've played in your groups, whether in sets or runs. To start, each player has a hand of eight cards from a deck with cards numbered 1-9 and 10/0, with ten copies of each card. Reveal a random score card from each of the four decks, as well as the "single line" score cards. On a turn you either: Draw two cards. Play/score/play and score. To play, place cards in front of you in sets or runs (i.e., groups). You can have at most four groups in front of you and can discard groups at will. After you play, draw as many cards as the number of groups you played. To score, discard groups from in front of you that match the groups depicted on a visible score card, e.g., six cards (whether in a set or run); a group of three cards and another group of three cards; or a group of three cards and a set of two cards. Each score card has a point value on it, and you draw this many cards after scoring. (Additionally, if you score only with sets instead of a mix of runs and sets, the point value doubles, but you draw only the listed number of cards.) Your hand limit is ten cards. In a two-player game, when the number deck runs out, whoever has the most points wins. In a game with 3+ players, whoever first scores 10+ points wins.
