In dnup, the main challenge is to be the first to get rid of all your cards! Each player starts with eight or ten cards, and each card features two different numbers (from 1 to 10) – one at the top and one at the bottom. You can arrange the cards in your hand as you wish, from left to right, but you cannot rotate them individually. Each turn, after discarding any cards that were in front of you on the table, you have several strategic options: play cards from your hand, add a card to an existing pile on the table, take cards from in front of another player, or revolve all cards in your hand at once. When you play cards, it can be one or more of the same value. If you match the number of cards another player has in front of them, your cards must have a higher value to 'overplay' them. If this happens, the overplayed player must revolve their cards and return them to their hand. Adding a card means placing a card of the same value onto another player's pile. But be careful: if this action causes them to have the same number of cards as a third player, and that third player's cards have a lower value, they too will have to revolve their cards and take them back into their hand! Taking cards from in front of another player also makes them revolve before returning to your hand. The first player to empty their hand scores 2 points, and their cards are 'immune' to being taken back. The second player scores 1 point. Rounds continue until someone reaches 4 points, and whoever has the most points at the end claims victory!
