BOOSTED is an original card game that’s fun for all.
Outwit your opponents using skill, tactics, and Booster Cards. The power is in your hands as you choose what your opponent does next!
PLAYING CARDS
There are 60 playing cards in total – 4 different colors numbered 1 to 15.
There are 30 booster cards – 4 different categories: Common, Rare, Epic, and Ultimate.
OBJECT OF THE GAME
To be the first player to get rid of all their playing cards.
Starting with the playing cards, after a good shuffle, players are dealt 10 cards each. The remaining cards are placed face down and used as a ‘deck’ to draw from. Next, thoroughly shuffle the booster cards and deal 3 to each player.
The remaining booster cards are placed face down in a separate ‘deck’ and are used as and when needed. Keep your playing cards and booster cards concealed from your opponents. The player to the left of the dealer goes first and places any card face up next to the deck to start the game, then chooses ‘higher’ or ‘lower’ for the next player.
On your turn
You must place a playing card based on the previous instruction of ‘higher’ or ‘lower’ than the last played card. If successful, you too get the opportunity to decide what the next player has to lay by telling them to place a card ‘higher’ or ‘lower’ than your played card.
You also have the option to match the last played card, but if you choose to do this, you do not get to decide if the next playing card is ‘higher’ or ‘lower’. When a match is chosen, the next player has to follow the instruction to go ‘higher’ or ‘lower’ from the player previous to the player that chose to match.
If you are unable to go ‘higher’, ‘lower’, or ‘match’ the current card, then you must pick up a playing card from the unused deck. If you pick up a playing card from the unused deck, the same rules for matching a card must be followed and the previous instruction to go ‘higher’ or ‘lower’ still applies to the next player.
Numbers 1 and 15 do not need a call of higher or lower as 1 is automatically higher and 15 is automatically lower, but you still need to press the or arrows for the next player.
To speed up your turn when you cannot place a playing card, press on the unused deck to take a new playing card.
BOOSTER CARDS
These can be used on your turn only. They can be used to advance your gameplay or hinder your opponent(s). There are no restrictions on how many of your booster cards you can use on your turn. You can play a booster card against any opponent, it doesn’t have to be the opponent to your left. Press on the opponents avatar to play that booster card against them.
Once your booster card(s) have been played, play then continues as normal by following the previous instruction of pressing ‘higher’ or ‘lower’ unless you have used a booster card that breaks the rules! You must adhere to the rules of a booster card.
