INTRODUCTION OF RACK-O

RACK-O is a card game that has been published by many different companies over the years.  Originally published in 1956, RACK-O is a card game in which players take turns drawing and discarding cards.  The end goal is to have a set of 10 cards in order from low to high.  

MATERIALS

RACK-O includes a 60 card deck numbered 1 – 60, four card racks, and 1 card tray.  A way to keep score will need to be provided.  

SETUP

The number of cards used depends on the number of players.

2 players: all 60 cards

3 players: 1 – 50

2 players: 1 – 40

Place the card tray in the center of the table.  One side of the tray will contain the draw pile, and the other side will contain the discard pile.

Draw cards to determine the first dealer.  The player who draws the highest number deals first.  Shuffle and deal ten cards to each player one card at a time.

As a player receives their cards, they should place them in their rack beginning with the #50 slot and moving forward toward the #5 slot.

The rest of the cards are placed face down in the card tray.  Turn the top card over and place it on the opposite side of the tray.  This begins the discard pile.  Deal will pass left each round.

THE PLAY

On a player’s turn, they may either draw a card from the top of the draw pile or take the top card from the discard pile.

The card that is drawn may be kept or discarded.  If the card is kept, the player exchanges it with one card from their rack.  The card that is removed from the rack is placed face up on top of the discard pile.

If the draw pile runs out of cards, turn over the entire discard pile.  This becomes the new draw pile.  Flip the top card over to begin a new discard pile.

Play continues until a player gets a RACK-O. 사설토토

GETTING A RACK-O

Once a player gets all 10 cards in their rack from low to high, they end the round by announcing RACK-O!  It’s time to tally up the score.

After the score is tallied for the round, collect the cards, shuffle, and deal out for another round.
