Party Bugs

cockroach Costume party! 

Cockroaches throw a costume party - we see Elvis the Disco King cockroach, or a cockroach dressed as a vampire or a Princess Leia cockroach, all are raving around the disco ball.

You have a set of cards in one color, numbered 1 to 13. The set is shuffled and stacked face down. Then you draw your top card and place it open-faced at the disco ball, which represents the dance floor. If you draw the #13 card, the Disco King, you draw a new card and shuffle the Disco King back into the stack. If you placed the lowest card, you take the Tie Breaker card. Finally, every player draws three cards in hand.

In twelve rounds you put down a face-down card and draw a card; then all reveal their card and take - in ascending numerical order of cards played - a card from the dance floor into their own display - cards in displays are placed openly in a row - and slide the currently played card onto the dance floor. When two identical values have been played, the player nearer - in clockwise direction - to the holder of the Tie Breaker card, selects a card first. In Round 13, all players only take a card from the dance floor. If you played the Disco King, you take all cards from the floor, all other players don’t get a card in this round. If you have two cards of the same value / costume in your display, you discard both of them. Cards can only be discarded in pairs! After 13 rounds you win with the lowest total of card values in your display.

An ideal game for any group of players, quickly explained, even more quickly played, and good fun to play; and yet, you can plan ahead a bit to go hunting for pairs.
