About the game
You have to think like Wednesday to get ahead in this game: be allergic to color. Players compete to collect as many black & white cards as possible while avoiding color cards. Play “nightmare cards” to continue the story, & bluff to rid your hand of “sweet dreams” cards. Take turns being Wednesday while players add a card from their hand face up. Wednesday collects all cards & adds one more secretly and orders the cards numerically on the table low to high. Players choose a card to flip in front of them & gain those points. First player to play all their colorful cards with the most points wins the game.
