## Description
In 3 to 13, the goal is straightforward: accumulate the fewest points possible over 11 rounds. Each round starts with players receiving an increasing number of cards, starting with 3 and reaching up to 13 in the final round. Cards are played in specific combinations, such as sequences or groups of the same number, and the player who manages to get rid of all their cards first exits the round. The other players tally the points of the cards left in their hands, with high values for cards like Aces (25 points) and face cards (10 points). Aces and specific cards from each round are wild, which can help form combinations. Jokers can also be used as wild cards, but beware: if they remain in your hand, they’re worth 25 points! The strategy lies in deciding when to play your cards to avoid high points and when to try to go out first to earn bonuses. It’s a game that mixes luck, planning, and a bit of bluffing, perfect for a relaxed evening with friends.
