Try Not To Lose 5 Points

Shuffle the deck and deal 8 cards. The dealer goes first. The remaining cards are placed down. This is called the Draw pile. Every player plays a number sequentially. (1-12) If you don’t have that number, skip your turn and draw 1 card. You get minus 1 point. Players get points by playing cards. It restarts to 1 when the number hits 12. If you lose 5 points, you lose. That is where the Free point card is used to save yourself. But one player can play a Minus 1 point card and you lose again. Whoever gains 35 points or is the last one in the game wins. Note: If you have 2 number cards of the same number (ex: 2 of 8 number cards), you can play it and get 2 points. And if you have too many cards of the same number you can play it and get points on how much cards you have of that number.
