SEIZE!

1. Discard every 3, 4, 5, 6 and all Kings. They are worthless. 32 cards remain.
2. Rank, high to low: A > Q > J > 10 > 9 > 8 > 7 > 2. Aces high, 2 lowest.
3. Deal all cards face-down and even. Discard any extras face-down. More than 5 players? Add a second deck.
4. Never look at your cards. On your turn, flip the top card of your stock onto the table — fate decides.
5. The first card of the game sets the trump suit.
6. Highest card wins the round and leads the next. Trump beats all other suits. On a tie, the card played first wins.
7. SEIZE: if your card is the weakest on the table, you may turn it 90° — its suit becomes the new trump immediately, and the round is judged by whichever trump rules when its last card falls. Trump cards can never Seize.
8. When you Seize, discard one card blindly from the top of your stock.
9. Seizes stack: the game’s 1st Seize discards 1 card, the 2nd 2, the 3rd 3… A Seize back to the original trump resets the count to 1. If a Seize would discard your entire stock, you may choose to do so. You leave the game with no Victory.
10. You cannot win by discarding. Your final card must be played from your stock, face-up, like any other round.
11. If your final card is the highest of its round, you are out — with no victory. The next player to empty their stock wins.

Goal: abandon all your cards first.
Let nothingness grant you freedom and victory.
