The Power Cards

#5 - #12 on the game instructional cards with each deck.​

Back​

Cards​

​

5. The turn goes back to the previous player and the direction of the game is changed. (For a 2 player game, the player playing the Back Card goes again)

Whirlwind!​​​​
​Cards​

6. All players pass their hand to the player in the direction the game is being played. If the game is played counter-clockwise, pass your cards to the right and receive all the cards from the player on your left.

Number 7​

"Lucky Whirlwind"

Cards

7. You have a choice to keep your hand or trade it with any player when you shout "Lucky Whirlwind" before the next player discards a card. All players must tell how many cards they have in their hand. You must give all and take all the cards from the player you are trading with.

Pass 1​

Cards

8. The next player loses a turn (For a two player game, the player discarding a Pass 1 Card goes again).

Pass 2​

& Wild card

Cards

All suits ​

Wild card​

Cards

10. You can play an All Suits card and shout out a suit to be played. The next player can play any card as long it touches the discard pile before the suit is called.

Numbers 1, 3, 5, and 9​

with All suits Wild card​

Cards​

11. If a player plays one of these numbered wild cards and calls out a suit, you can play that number with that suit out of turn.  Also, you can go out of turn if someone plays a number matching your all suit card.  ​

​

Example; you can discard a 3 all suits on a 3 of spades out of turn but you cannot change the suit. What you actually do is make that 3 all suits identical to a 3 of spades. That is why you can go out of turn, skip players and the spade stands.

+1 +3 +5​

Plus card ​in all suits

Cards​​​

12. When someone plays a +1 and you play a +1,the next person draws 2 cards. Only the same number of pluses can be added together; +1 on +1 and +3 on +3. You can't discard your hand until you draw all your cards first. When a player in front of you draws a card, play your hand fast. This prevents that player from discarding a draw card when your card touches a discard pile or your hand touches a draw pile to take a card. When the draw piles are depleted, take all the discarded cards except the top card, shuffle the cards, cut it in half and make 2 draw piles.
