Players put down one card per turn attempting to decrease the number of cards in their hand while keeping the timer total under 60 seconds.

If a player clears all cards in their hand, all other players flip one of their time bombs rendering them the winner. Whoever has all three of their time bomb cards flipped over is out of the game.

Threes are low, Aces high, Twos even higher and Jokers highest. Once all the cards are dealt (the dealer getting 10, the others 11), the dealer plays a meld; one of a singleton, "n" of a kind, a run of 3 or more singletons or a run of three or more "n" of a kinds. For example a run of 4 pairs might be . Subsequent players either pass or play a higher set of the same meld, e.g. {8,8,9,9,10,10,J,J}. Twos and Jokers are wild (they may represent any card), but 2s may not be played in runs of singletons, neither as a 2 nor as a wild card. Using wild cards, it is possible to play a meld of "10 of a kind" - 4 genuine cards, 4 twos and 2 jokers. A run of singletons that is all in the same suit (jokers counting for any suit) is better than a run of different suits, and a 'natural' meld is better than an otherwise equal ...

Phase 10
Phase 10 is a card game created in 1982 by Kenneth Johnson and sold by Mattel, which purchased the rights from Fundex Games in 2010. Phase 10 is based on a variant of rummy known as contract rummy.

Whoever is in the lead when play stops if someone has completed 5.5 phases or more is the winner. Phase 10 was Fundex's best selling product, selling over 62,600,000 units as of 2016, making it the 2nd best-selling commercial card game behind Mattel's Uno.
