==Specifics== Some action cards can be stacked. This means that if a player plays more than one of them in a run, one after the other, the card below doesn't get ignored, it's effect is added to the current effect. Although one of these action cards must be the last card played. If they are all covered by the end of the run, they are treated normally i.e. ignored. Action cards that do this are: 2s, 8s, Js (black only), Ks.<br> ''2 Example:'' * The current card on the table is 7[[File:Spade.gif]]. * The player plays 2[[File:Spade.gif]] 2[[File:Heart.gif]] 2[[File:Diamond.gif]]. * This means the next player must then draw 6 cards instead of the usual 2. ''8 Example:'' * The current card on the table is 7[[File:Spade.gif]]. * The player plays 8[[File:Spade.gif]] 8[[File:Heart.gif]]. * This means the next two players miss their turns instead of just one player. * But if a player plays enough 8s that it would miss his next turn, i.e. in a two player game a player plays two 8s, in that case the extra 8s aren't counted and it becomes that players turn again. ''J (black) Example:'' * The current card on the table is 7[[File:Spade.gif]]. * The player plays J[[File:Spade.gif]] J[[File:Club.gif]]. * The next player must then draw 10 cards, unless they can play either J[[File:Diamond.gif]] or J[[File:Heart.gif]] on top. ''K Example:'' * The current card on the table is 7[[File:Spade.gif]]. * The player plays K[[File:Spade.gif]] K[[File:Diamond.gif]]. * This means The player receives another turn because the first K has the effect of reversing the direction so it becomes the previous players turn, then the second K reverses direction again, so it is the current players turn again. * If three Ks are played it has the same effect as one K, if all four Ks are played it's the same as two Ks. Some action card effects can be "passed on". This means that the next player plays a card of the same number as the current action card to avoid the effect. Action cards that can be used like this are: 2s and Js (black only).<br> ''Example:'' * The current card on the table is 7[[File:Spade.gif]]. * Player1 plays 2[[File:Spade.gif]] 2[[File:Diamond.gif]], so ordinarily Player2 would have to draw 4 cards. However Player2 plays 2[[File:Heart.gif]], so Player3 must now draw 6 cards. But Player3 plays 2[[File:Club.gif]], so in the end Player4 ends up having to draw 8 cards.
