About the game

At the start of the game everyone gets 10 Chips (life points) and 4 cards. The cards have values from 1 to 4 and some are special action cards. During the game you must try to avoid getting over 30, 60 or 90 (losing 1, 2 or 3 chips correspondingly). Play a card, add it to the total, draw a card to replace it. Sounds easy, but its a fairly good card game. The last player with a chip wins a game.
