Spooneye! The Card Game
Captain goes first. A player's turn consists of two phases. First, the player draws a card from the deck and places it in their hand. Then, the player plays any card from their hand onto one of the masts in the playing area:

Always remember to draw your card before you play a card. If you forget to draw on your turn, your opponent is not obliged to remind you - and if they start their turn by drawing a card, you forfeit your draw for that previous turn.


Turn 1C: (Captain's 1st turn): Captain draws the
J and then plays the 6 on the 7, building a mast that totals 13.


When a card is the top card in a mast, it's known as being in the crow's nest.

Building Masts - example

To build masts, cards are played one on top of each other towards the opposing masts, with the most recent card played always staying on top.
