Instructions

    • 1

      Sit in a circle with the other players. Shuffle your deck several times and create a space for a discard pile.

    • 2

      Deal three cards to each player and place three cards face up in the center. Each player hides her cards. Award each player with three points. When players have lost all of their points, they lose the game. The last person with a point wins.

    • 3

      Moving left from the dealer, each player chooses one or all three of the cards in the center. He then replaces those cards with an equal number of cards from his hand.

    • 4

      Say "Stop the Bus" when you feel you have a good hand. At that point, each person in the circle has one more chance to replace her cards with the ones in the center.

    • 5

      Reveal all of the cards for each player. The person with the lowest score loses one of his three points. The Ace is worth 11, the King, Queen, Jack and 10 are each worth 10. The remaining numbers are worth their corresponding numerical amounts.

    • 6

      Reshuffle the deck and re-deal the cards to start a new round. The last person with a point wins.
