## Rules questions

### Can I place more than three cards next to a row?

No — players may place at most 3 cards next to a row; once a row has 3 cards no more may be placed there (page 1).

### Can I take a row that has no cards next to it?

No — a player may only take a row card if it has at least one card next to it (page 2).

### When do I decide which color a joker counts as?

You set jokers aside when taken and each player decides which color their jokers represent only at the end of the game (page 2).

### How many colors can I score as positive at the end?

Each player chooses three of their colors to score as plus points; all other colors score as minus points (page 2).

### How do the “+2” cards score — do they count as a color?

Each "+2" card scores +2 points on its own; it is not a color card and is scored separately (page 2).

### If I take a card row, can I still take another row that round, and who starts the next round?

After taking a card row you take no more turns in that round, and the next round begins with the player who took the last card row in the previous round (page 2).
