As you collect sets of Hats, you\u2019ll stack them in front of you in an alternating pattern. Be careful: the exposed set atop your stack can be stolen with a matching Hat or Wild card. If successful, the matching card joins the set. Because of this, every time a set is stolen by another player, it increases in value. Want to hold onto your sets? Then you better Hide Your Hats!<\/p>\n<p><b>Key Terms<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Wild: <\/b>The Red Crown and Pink Tiara cards are of high value and can match any Asset.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sets: <\/b>These will start as a pair of Hats (or one Hat and a Wild) but may grow over time.<\/p>\n<p><b>Stack: <\/b>A pile that is composed of multiple sets.<\/p>\n<p><b>SETUP <\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Deal a hand of 5 cards to each player.<\/li>\n<li>Place the deck in the center of the table (draw pile).<\/li>\n<li>Flip a card from the deck to start the discard pile.<\/li>\n<li>The player to the left of the dealer goes first.<\/li>\n<li>Leave a space in front of you to build your stack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>On your turn you must take one of the following actions:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>1)\u00a0Form a set<\/p>\n<p>2)\u00a0Discard<\/p>\n<p>3)Challenge {attempt to steal}<\/p>\n<p>The first (bottom) set formed in each player\u2019s stack is safe and may not be stolen.\u00a0You must form at least one set before stealing any sets from other players.<\/p>\n<p><b>Form a Set<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You must form a set in one of three ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pairing two identical cards from your hand.<\/li>\n<li>Pairing a card from your hand with an identical card from the top of the discard pile.<\/li>\n<li>Pairing in the above mentioned ways, but with one of the two cards being a Wild. <b>Note: <\/b>You must always place a Wild below an Asset when building sets!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To clarify, a pair can be either two identical Hats, or an Asset and a Wild (Silver or Gold). However, you may not form a set with two Wilds or with more than two cards. It must be a pair. Lastly, sets in your stack are never combined with previously played sets even if they are the same Asset.<\/p>\n<p><b>Stacking your sets:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>To keep sets separated, each time you add a new set to your pile you\u2019ll place it on top of the previous set, alternating between horizontal and vertical orientation, even if it is the same Asset as a previously played set.<\/p>\n<p><b>Discard<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Discard a card from your hand, face up, onto the discard pile. There can be a lot of strategy in choosing this action.<\/p>\n<p><b>Challenge (Attempt to Steal)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The top set in each stack is vulnerable to being taken by another player. To challenge another player\u2019s top set, place an Asset matching that set, or a Wild card, in front of theplayer you are challenging.<\/p>\n<p><b>Note: <\/b>Hats and Wilds are of equal power for stealing, even though they have a different value at the end of the game. The defender may protect their set by playing a matching Asset or Wild from their hand. You may each challenge and defend for as long as you want or are able. When one player is no longer able to defend, or chooses not to, that player loses the challenge. If the challenger wins, they take the set. If the defender wins, they keep it. Whoever wins also gets to keep all cards that were used in the battle. As a reminder, any wilds must be placed below Hats.<\/p>\n<p><b>Note: <\/b>You may not draw new cards during a challenge.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RHS 8&#215;10 picture frame<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":427320,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_tec_requires_first_save":true,"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_tribe_blocks_recurrence_rules":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_description":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_exclusions":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[190,186],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-427220","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-fun-stuff","7":"product_cat-member-product","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/redhatsociety.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/427220","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/redhatsociety.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/redhatsociety.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redhatsociety.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/427320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/redhatsociety.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=427220"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redhatsociety.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=427220"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redhatsociety.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=427220"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redhatsociety.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=427220"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
