Spite & Malice

Objective

Be the first player to empty your Goal Pile by playing all 9 cards onto the center Build Piles. Cards go from Ace (1) through King (13).

Build Piles

The 4 center piles are shared. Start each pile with an Ace, then stack cards in ascending order (A, 2, 3... up to K). When a pile reaches King, it clears automatically.

Your Cards

• Goal Pile: Your 9-card stack to empty
• Hand: Draw up to 5 cards each turn
• Discard Piles: 4 personal storage piles

Turn Flow

• Draw up to 5 cards
• Play cards to Build Piles
• Discard one card to end turn

Wild Cards

Kings (K) are wild cards. They can substitute for any rank when playing to a Build Pile, making them extremely valuable.

Strategy Tips

• Prioritize playing from your Goal Pile
• Save wild cards for when you're stuck
• Organize your Discard Piles strategically
