Rock Runners Incorporated is a card game played with two to four players. The rules are very simple. Anyone could win the most Space Credits and nab the greatest intergalactic contracts! The object of the game is to be the last player to make a play and earn a Space Credit. Games can be played in best-of-five rounds to determine the ultimate winner.
Shuffle the cards and have the dealer pass out three cards face down to each player. The remaining cards are then stacked face down on the table within reach of all players. This is the Stock Pile. Each round starts at zero Space Rocks. The player sitting to the left of the dealer begins the round and play continues clockwise.
The first player lays down one of her cards face up next to the Stock Pile. If it is a Space Rock card, she declares the current Space Rock total. If it is an action card, she declares this instead. After she plays, she immediately draws a card from the Stock Pile. If she forgets to draw a card before the next player plays, she must play the rest of the round with only two cards. The next player then lays down a card and either states the new Space Rock total or the Action Card he is playing. There are seven different Action Cards with different impacts on game play.
The Space Rock total can never exceed one hundred total tons. When players have no cards to play to change the total or equal it with a Full Load, they lose. If three or four people are playing, the remaining players continue until there is only one player left in each round. After each round, the entire deck is reshuffled by the next dealer and the next round begins.
