How to play: First, set up the game with the included core game, Captain Carcass Tin Box edition, 4 Reference Cards, and Six Variant Cards. For 2 to 4 players, take turns. At your turn, flip the top card from the deck and use its special ability. You can keep drawing cards until you play a suit that's already been seen, then you lose everything. Decide when to 'bank' your cards. Each suit has a different effect, like Anchor letting you keep your previous draws even if you bust. When the deck runs out, total the value of the highest banked card from each suit, and the one with the highest score wins. Things to note: The paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated. Maintenance: Keep the cards in the tin box to protect them from damage and keep them organized.
