around so all can see them.
• Place the Twist Phase Cards in the Twist Phase Card Holder.
• Unfold the game board and place it within easy reach of all players.

• Shue the deck of Phase 10 cards and deal 10 cards, face-down, to each player.
• Place the rest of the deck face down in one section of the Phase 10 Card Tray to
form the Draw Pile. Turn the top three cards over and place them face-up, one
in each of the three other sections, to form three Discard Piles.
• Everyone chooses a colored pawn and places it on the “1/Start” space on the
game board. Note that the pawns stack on each other, so more than one pawn
may occupy a single space at any time during play.
PLAY
• Hold your cards so nobody else can see them.
• Play starts with the player to the left of the dealer and proceeds to the left.
• During the rst hand, everybody must try to complete Phase 1.
• On your turn, rst draw a card either from the Draw Pile or from one of the
three Discard Piles, and add it to your hand. If possible, do one of the following:
• Lay down your Phase (Each player can make only one Phase during
each hand),
-OR-
• Once you have laid down your Phase, you may “Hit” on any of the Phases that
have been laid down, including your own.
• At the end of your turn you must discard one card onto any of the three discard
piles, or, if you choose, you may play a Skip card from your hand.
• If you draw the last card from one of the Discard Piles, you must discard back
into the empty section of the card tray.
• e player to the left now begins their turn.

DEFINITIONS
SET: A set is made of two or more cards with the same number.

three 10s in any combination of colors. e two sets could also be of the
same number, like three 10s and three more 10s.
RUN: A run is made of four or more cards numbered in order.
Example: A run of four could be cards numbered 3-4-5-6, in any
combination of colors.
ONE COLOR: e cards are all of the same color.
Example: Phase 8 requires seven cards of the same color, which could be
seven red cards or seven green cards, etc. e cards don’t need to be in
numerical order.
SKIP CARDS: Skip cards cause another player to lose a turn. When you discard
at the end of your turn, instead of placing a card in one of the three Discard Piles,
place the Skip card in front of the player you choose. ey will lose their next turn.
• When you draw a Skip card, you may discard it immediately or save it for a
later turn.
• A Skip card may never be used in making a Phase.
• Only one Skip card may be used against each player per round
(around is once around the table).
• If any of the discard piles are started with a Skip card, cover it with a new card
from the draw pile.
IMPORTANT: Make certain that all played Skip cards are shued back into
the deck at the start of the next hand.
