The cards
| Ace | Out of your lot, or forward 1. |
|---|---|
| King | Out of your lot, or forward 13. |
| Queen | Forward 12. |
| Jack | Forward 11, or swap one of your track marbles with any opponent's track marble (marbles on their own start spot can't be taken). |
| 10 · 9 · 8 | Forward by that value. |
| 7 | Split seven single steps across any of your marbles — every step lands, so a 7 captures everything it touches. |
| 6 · 5 | Forward by that value. |
| 4 | Backward 4. Never into the finish lane. |
| 3 · 2 | Forward by that value. |
| Joker | Out of your lot (yours — or your partner's), or hold onto it. |
Remember
- Get out with Ace, King, or Joker.
- A marble on its own start spot is a wall: nothing lands on it or passes it.
- You jump over marbles freely — only the space you land on matters.
- Landing on any marble sends it home — friend or foe. Never onto your own.
- If any card can move, you must move; otherwise discard one card.
- The finish lane is entered two spaces before your start spot, by exact count, and fills back to front.
- Win: all four marbles in your finish lane (teams: both partners').
