The United Cards of America is a 99-card family game of set collection and shenanigans in honor of America’s 250th birthday. Collect States and complete Regions to earn the most points. Use Actions creatively and watch out for the Government Shutdown!
Playing the game: On your Turn, you must do 1 and only 1 of the following:
Play a State Card: Play 1 State Card to your Play Area.
Play an Action: Play an Action Card from your Hand. Do whatever the Action Card says, then place it face-up on the top of the Action Pile.
Take a Card: Take the topmost Card of the State Discard Pile into your Hand. You can only Take from the State Discard Pile you cannot Take from the Action Pile!
Draw 2 Cards- Keep 1, Discard 1: Draw 2 Cards from the Draw Deck. Place 1 in your Hand (Keep 1) and Discard the other (Discard 1).
Once you have completed your Turn, gameplay passes clockwise and the next player takes their Turn. Play continues until the Draw Deck runs out and the Game Ends. The player with the highest score is the winner!
