Raising and Capturing Masts

Spooneye! The Card Game
Raising the masts on your side of the table is the only way to capture the masts on your opponent's side. A mast is raised when it totals exactly 21. The raised mast is then taken, along with any one of your opponent's masts, and placed face down off to your side.

Your pile of captured cards is known as your booty pile. Keep in mind that you raise the masts on your side, and you capture the masts on your opponent's side, but any cards placed in the booty pile are considered captured.


Turn 2C: Captain draws the 5 and plays the 8 on the 6, building a mast that totals 21. Captain takes the raised mast, and then chooses which mast on Matey's side to capture. Captain decides to take the mast containing the J and the 8, placing all five cards in her booty pile.
