Point
Materials: Deck of Point dot cards and
deck of Point tile cards
Objective: To be the first player to get
rid of all of your cards
How to Play:
1. Players decide who will be the dealer and who will go first. The
dealer deals all of the blue dot cards to the players so that
each player has the same number of cards. Any cards left over
are set aside and are not used for play. The dealer shuffles the
yellow tile cards and places them in a pile face down.
2. Players take turns turning the top yellow tile card face up.
3. All players make one combination of blue dot cards that add
up to the number of yellow bars on the yellow tile card. For
example, if the yellow tile card shows 11 dots, a player can use
a 6-dot card and a 5-dot card (6 + 5 = 11) or a player can use
a 5-dot card, a 5-dot card, and a 1-dot card (5 + 5 + 1 = 11), or
a player can show a 5-dot card, a 4-dot card, and a 2-dot
card (5+4+2=11).
4. Players prove their combination adds up to the number of bars
on the yellow tile card to the other players before placing their
combination on a discard pile.
5. The game ends when one player runs out of blue dot cards. This
player is the winner.
