Brief Rules:

Object is get most glass stones (stone = point). At start, each player have same number of glass stones and playing cards. Open one number card from the discard deck, and this number card becomes the destination. Now each player should make 'the closest and unique distance' every turn to get glass stones. The 'distance' means a difference of number between the destination and the number card chosen by a player.

Turn sequence as follows:

1. All players submit one number card hidden without order.You can play one special card hidden depending on the need(The use of special card is optional).

2. After all players submit cards, open them at the same time.

3. If there are special cards, apply the instructions. Then calculate distances of each number card from destination (the difference between the played number and target number), and make a winner. Players that are the same distance cannot win the turn. The winner of the turn is the player with the smallest unique distance.

4. The winner’s distance is the points awarded, and winner takes glass stones equaling these points from each player.

5.. Now the winner’s number card is new destination. Discard all other opened cards.
The process from 1 to 5 is a turn.

When players use all cards, one round ends. And after some rounds(default 3 rounds) the player who has the most glass stones wins.
