How to Play

Race to collect five prime numbers in your hand to win. Each round, players choose cards to play face-down simultaneously. When revealed, check which numbers divide into others — earn bonus cards based on how many other players' cards your number divides into. Prime numbers always return to their owners. Manage your hand carefully: lost cards mean drawing replacements.

Strategy in a sentence: Try to pick up primes and get rid of your non-primes.
