Z3BRA

Players each set up a private 3x3 grid of nine face-down cards and keep six cards in a personal stack. On a turn a player draws from the deck or discard, then either swap the drawn card with a card in their grid (discarding the replaced card face up) or discard the drawn card to flip a face-down card; certain cards can be stolen from an opponent’s grid. When a player forms three matching cards in a row by number or color (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal), those three cards are discarded and replaced by face-down cards from the personal stack. The game ends after a player empties their hand or flips all grid cards, with one final round of turns before scoring; lowest total remaining card value wins.
