How to play.
Step 1 — Set the stage.
Shuffle the deck, deal 7 cards to each player, and reveal the first card to begin the chaos. From that moment on, every player is watching, waiting, and planning their next move.
Step 2 — Trigger the Chaos
Every card can shift the balance. Reverse the flow, skip turns, force draws, or chain effects into devastating combos. One well-timed play can turn the entire table against someone… or save you at the last second.
Step 3 — Attack with your Cards
Be the first to empty your hand… but do not celebrate too early. When you are down to one card, shout “Smash” or risk being called out and dragged back into the chaos.
Step 4 — Smash to Win
Be the first to empty your hand… but do not celebrate too early. When you are down to one card, shout “Smash” or risk being called out and dragged back into the chaos.
