Núlla

How to play

Flétta / Núlla: finish with the lowest total.

1. Each player gets 5 or 6 face-down table cards (or 12 with 2–3 players). No one may inspect these initially.
2. Each player also gets a separate secret card. You can peek at yours at any time. Keep it unchanged throughout the round; it counts toward your final score.
3. Draw from the deck or take the top discard. You may discard the card immediately or start a chain by swapping it with table card 1.
4. Look at the removed card. Discard it to stop, or swap it with the next table card. Continue in order for as long as you like. You cannot skip slots or start at card 2.
5. Every table card can be replaced, including the last. After replacing the last card, automatically discard whatever was there.
6. J, Q and K = 0. Ace = 1. Cards 2–10 score their number, except the selected extra zero rank: every suit of that rank scores 0.
7. In this implementation, the player drawing the last deck card finishes that turn. Then everyone reveals their row and secret card. Lowest total wins; equal lowest totals tie.

There is no extra artificial Zero card. Taking and returning a discard does not use up the deck; draw from the face-down deck to advance the round.

Strategy: remember what you put in your row. A good card removed from slot 1 can improve slot 2 even if slot 1 becomes slightly worse.
