Initial Setup Example

How to Play

  1. You may move any Time Card or Player Card that is Full the full number of spaces to the left or to the right. If you move that Time Card or Player Card, rotate it so it is now the Empty side up.
  2. The Player Card may move 1 space to the left or to the right.
  3. If a Time Card or Player Card is at the edge of your hand, it wraps around to the other side of your hand to continue movement.
  4. Proceed to the Scoring Phase if all cards are Empty or you choose to stop moving cards.

Example: Move the 3 Time Card (Full).

Example: Moving the 3 Time Card (Full) to the left, wrapping around.

Example: Moving the 3 Time Card (Full)  to the right.

Scoring Phase

  1. Eligibility: To be eligible for scoring ,the Player Card must tumble through the 5 Time Card.
  2. Tumblin': The Player Card may tumble through Time Cards if the Time Card is the same value or in ascending order. A Player Card may choose left or right to begin tumblin’ through Time Cards, but may not turn around once a direction has been chosen.
  3. Scoring: The Player scores 2 points for every Full Time Card it tumbles through. The Player scores 1 point for every Empty Time Card it tumbles through. The Player Card itself counts as 2 points if it is Full and 1 point if it is Empty.
  4. Bonus Points: Tumblin' through groups of Full Time Cards multiplies all the Full Time Card values in that group by the number of Full Time Cards in that group.
  5. Score End: If the Player encounters a Time Card that is not the same or not in ascending order, that Time Card is not scored and scoring ends. If the Player tumbles through the 5 Time Card, scoring ends.
