Hubs and Spokes
REGIONAL HUBS AND SPOKES (2-3 players)
► Your hub only serves its own
region
► Remove WILD/Joker and Instruction/Example cards
► All cards are face up in this game
► Players are each dealt 5 cards face up
► Each player selects a card to be their hub
► Each player places it on the table in a separate spot
► Players then take turns having three options:
1) Draw a card from the deck and retain it in their hand
2) Draw a card and discard the *same* card to their face up cards
3) Take a card from the face up cards of the other player
► If the other player takes one of your face up cards, take another card from
the deck and replace it, face up
► Play continues until either player has 10 cards in their hand or no cards are
left in the deck
SCORING
► Hub = gates x $ revenue
► Spoke Cards = Same suit as hub cards are scored as $revenue +
gates
► Cards from other suits do not count
► It is advantageous to hold cards of your opponents hub suit to deny those
cards from your opponent
► Highest score wins
