Background: This is a simple game (if you use your thinking cap). It will be easy for you if you have played other card games like Cheat or even Pyramids. Keep in mind that you need to try A LOT to win.
Objective: Your aim is to get rid of all your cards (in hand, face ups, and face downs) before all three opponents to advance to the next level. This is where you need to use your own game plan to get ahead.
What happens in the game? When you start playing Go! Go! Go! It will automatically be your turn. You place a card on the existing pile (up to four cards of the same type depending on how many cards you have) and the game continues. If a player does not have a card of equal or higher value then the cards have to be picked up by that player. Below are a few hints and tips to help you win:
How can I clear a pile of cards? You can clear the pile in a few different ways. Here is an example:
– Placing a TEN card over anything from a TWO to NINE card will clear the pile and give you another go
WARNING: If the pile is already cleared thanks to your opponents picking up or clearing it then do not feel tempted to use the TEN card unless necessary-you might need it later. If you have two TEN cards then just use one and save the other one for next time.
Lets say that one of your opponents placed three ACES either on its own or on an existing pile, if you have the last ACE and you place it on that pile you can clear that pile and have another go.
WARNING: Sometimes piles are cleared before you get a chance to clear it so act wisely.
This applies to cards ranging from TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, TEN, JACK, QUEEN, KING, ACE.
Face up cards: You can only use one card at a time providing that you have 0 cards in your hand. If you had to pick up then some of the face up cards are given to you (depends on how many cards you picked up) to use in your hand. You can only use one card at a time from your face up cards.
TIP: Keep an eye on your opponents face up cards. This will give you an advantage over them and you will place cards that they cannot hit (then they have to pick up).
Face down cards: These are the last cards to go and you wont know what they are until you place them on the pile. If the number is not equal to or higher in value then you have to pick up
# All cards in your hand start from low numbers to high numbers, e.g., TWO, FIVE, ACE.
## Face down cards: although it has not been proven I think that face down cards are also arranged from low to high numbersor are they random? Below is a list of card numbers and what cards can be placed over it. Diamonds is used only as an EXAMPLE-it applies to other types as well.
Regardless of the type of TWO card, you can place any number over this card.
TWO (yes TWO), THREE, FIVE, SEVEN, NINE, JACK and KING.
