User:Cmglee/The Bus (card game)

When the game starts, each player draws 5 cards to his hand. While the hand has a joker, it is placed face up next to his bus and a replacement card is drawn. The player with the most aces starts. If it is a tie, a random player starts. Turns alternate until the first player to finish all cards on his bus (both face up and face down) wins. A player has four storage spaces.

On a player's turn, he draws cards until he has 5 cards in hand. While the hand has a joker, it is placed face up next to his bus and a replacement card is drawn. He can place one or more cards (one at a time) from his hand, a storage space, on top of his bus (revealing the card below; while it is a joker, it is put aside as when drawing a joker, and the next card turned over) or his joker pile on a shared pile, increasing the rank by one up to king; if it is a king, he moves the pile to the discard pile. Before ending the turn (i.e. not the card that ends the turn), if a player manages to place all 5 cards from his hand, he gets to draw 5 more cards, restarting his turn. He then ends his turn by

1. Placing one card from his hand face up on an empty storage space, or face down under his bus, or

2. Swapping n+1 cards of the same rank with all the cards in a storage space containing n cards.
