Cards in hand can be used to defend your own buckets and attack those of others — and if you knock out a bucket low in someone's pyramid, you might cause a cascade that takes out even more!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach turn, the active player either plays cards or loses buckets; the game is played in rounds with a new round starting after anyone loses one or more buckets. At the start of each round, the active player chooses 1-3 cards in hand of the same color\/animal, lays them face up in front of himself, announces their sum, then draws \u003cem\u003eone\u003c\/em\u003e card to add to his hand (regardless of how many he played). Each subsequent player must lay down 1-3 cards of the same suit as the initial player with a higher sum than previously announced or else lose a bucket. (If play circles the table to the round's start player, he can add 1-3 new cards to those previously played, then announce the sum of all cards in front of him.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a player cannot or chooses not to defend his pyramid by playing cards, he removes one bucket of that card color from his pyramid by pushing, flicking or poking it with only one finger. (If he doesn't have a bucket of the required color, he removes a bucket of his choice.) This player then starts a new round after everyone has cleared their played cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a two- to four-player game, the game ends when a player loses his last bucket; in a five- to six-player game, a player who loses his last bucket is out of the game, and the game ends when only three players have buckets still in play. Whoever has the most buckets remaining in his pyramid wins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBucket King 3D\u003c\/em\u003e includes a variant for experience players: Whenever a player lays down a 1 while playing cards of the appropriate color, he can also play one other card of any color, adding the value of that card (and any others played) to his sum; he then draws two cards (one as normal, plus another card for the bonus card played) to end his turn. For example, if the required suit is blue, he may play a blue 1, with a red 4 as the additional card, announce his sum as \"Five\", then draw two cards from the deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf he plays two 1s, then he may play \u003cem\u003etwo\u003c\/em\u003e additional cards of any color and draw three cards at the end of his turn. A player can lay down at most five cards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jolly Thinkers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":999229513,"sku":"999229513","price":26.63,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic2053333_lg.jpg?v=1578608977","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/bucket-king-3d","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
