Feed the Pit and take your cash!

Quick Facts:

3-8 Players

5 minutes per round

Easy Difficulty

Objective: Dump your hand first and take everyone else's!

Dealing

Deal each player 7 cards and flip over the first card to start the Money Pit, the remaining deck is the draw pile. Deal rotates between rounds.

$1s are wild!

Starting clockwise, each player tries to discard one of their cards. These are your options:

Excluding the $1s, play a card exactly a denomination higher or lower than the card on top of the money pit. For example, if the top card is a $20, you can play either a $50 or a $10. Special note: “Cards go around the horn” For example, if a $100 is on top of the pile, you can play either a $50 or a $5.
Play a $1. When playing a $1 choose whether to skip the next person, or reverse the direction of the game. For example, move play from clockwise to counterclockwise. The player who goes next must play against the original card underneath the $1 played.
Play the exact same card that is on top and then draw another card and add it to your hand. For example, if the top card is a $20, you play a $20 and draw another card. The result is having the same amount of cards in your hand.
If you can’t do any of the above actions, simply take the top card from the draw pile. This increases your hand by one card.

First player to discard all of their cards wins!

The Pit

The player who went out gathers all the cards from the remaining players and totals them for their score that round.
