How To Play Five Crowns?

Deal 11 cards to each player in the first round

Place the remaining cards face down as the draw pile

Turn the top card face up to start the discard pile

The game uses five suits: stars, clubs, spades, hearts, and diamonds

Each round adds one more card to the deal, from 3 cards up to 13 cards

The wild card is the rank matching the current round number

In round 3, all 3s are wild; in round 4, all 4s are wild, and so on

Kings are always high and cannot be used as low cards

On your turn, draw one card from either the draw pile or the discard pile

Try to form books of three or more cards of the same rank

Try to form runs of three or more cards in the same suit

Wild cards can be used to replace missing cards in books or runs

After drawing, you may lay down any valid sets from your hand

At the end of your turn, discard one card face up

You may go out only if all cards in your hand are part of valid sets except one discard

When a player goes out, the round ends immediately

Score the remaining cards in other players’ hands

Number cards score their face value

Jacks, queens, and kings score 10 points each

Wild cards score 20 points each

The player with the lowest total score after all rounds wins

Play continues for all rounds from 3 through 13 cards

Shuffle and deal a new round after each round ends
