Now Colinda is from Western Australia, which means they were taught WA rules, which means I was taught those same western ways and that’s I’m about to share here. One of my favourite card games to play with my parents when we go camping (oh alright, travelling in the motorhome, but it’s a sort of camping to us) is something they picked up at a motorhome rally from a lady by the name of Colinda Spark. This can make for an interesting time when travellers get together and bring out a couple of packs of cards. Some games everyone knows the rules to, but then there are others where people can have very different opinions because they were first taught it in a particular way.Įven within Australia if you travel between states you may find some people have grown up playing a game one way while others play something with the same name but slightly different rules. In this case, the player with the lower score is the winner.Card games can be all sorts of fun but there can be times when you’re struggling to remember the rules or having a little debate over the way a game should be played. If multiple people complete phase 10, then points are used to determine the winner. If at the end of a round there is only one player to complete phase 10, they are the winner. Gaining points is not ideal, the player in Phase 10 with the lowest score wins. Also, players who had cards remaining in their hand must add them up. GOING OUT FIRSTīeing the first player to go out in a round means you get to advance to the next phase and hand. This can be a strategic measure to use if you wish to be the first player to discard all your cards first that hand. If you wish to hit, discard cards in hand by adding them to your phase or to another player’s already completed phase. If you hit you can get rid of 2 cards in hand during a turn. If the draw pile is exghausted before a player goes out, the discard pile is reshuffled and forms a new draw pile. Cards are gathered, reshuffled, and hands re-dealt. The deal moves to the left at the beginning of a new hand. Play moves clockwise until someone completes a phase and goes out. The first player that goes out is the winner of that hand.
