Twins & Followers

Rules

• One 52-card deck, no jokers. Everyone is dealt 3 cards, and one card is turned face up to start the discard pile.
• On your turn, draw one card from the deck (you can't take from the discard pile), then discard one card face up.
• A twin is two cards of the same rank: 8♠ 8♦. A follower is two cards in sequence, any suits: 4♣ 5♥, 10 J, Q K. Ace goes with both 2 and King.
• The moment the four cards in your hand after drawing are one twin plus one follower, you win the round automatically. Two twins ("crush") don't count.
• When the deck runs out, the discard pile (except its top card) is shuffled to make a new one.
• Rounds alternate who goes first. First to 3 round wins takes the game.
• If your turn timer runs out, the game plays for you: it draws, and discards the drawn card. Three timeouts in a row forfeits.
